c 217 [0.95,1.05] ............ C Relative power spectrum calibration for Planck between 217 GHz and 143 GHz
............ (0.9966 ± 0.0015)
(0 ± 1) ............ C Amplitude of the jth beam eigenmode (j = 1–5) for the ith cross-spectrum (i = 1–4)

[− 3, + 3] ............ P Amplitude of the calibration eigenmode for the ith detector (set) (i = 1–13)
[− 3, + 3] ............ P Amplitude of the jth beam eigenmode (j = 1–5) for the ith detector(set) (i = 1–13)

Notes. Square brackets denote hard priors, parentheses indicate Gaussian priors. The “Likelihood” column indicates whether a parameter is used by the CamSpec (C) and/or Plik (P) likelihood. Note that the beam eigenmode amplitudes require a correlation matrix to fully describe their joint prior, and that all but are marginalised over internally rather than sampled explicitly.
