Notes. In all scenarios, we report the median of the posterior distributions as the best estimate for the model parameters, along with its associated 68.3% confidence interval. The (†) symbol indicates fixed parameters. In the solid-body (SB) scenarios, the value in the veq column corresponds to veqsini. When CV are accounted for, c0 is degenerate and must be derived from the posterior distribution of c1 and c2. It is thus not possible to fit a constant CV model, and in that case c0 is set to 0 km s-1. In the differential-rotation (DR) scenario, some posterior distributions are asymmetric and we also provide the 68.3% HDI (see text).
