Mean (blue) and minimum (red) computed over the whole rotation angles of the best matching snapshot of simulation st35gm03n13, as a function of the simulation angular diameter at 1.61 μm. The red vertical dotted line corresponds to the diameter associated to the minimum of the continuous red curve. The blue vertical dashed line corresponds to the diameter associated to the minimum of the continuous blue curve. The green vertical dash-dotted line corresponds to the best LDD angular diameter obtained in Sect. 3.1. The is computed over the entire squared visibility dataset.
