Notes. Columns list: (1–3) Target, color and annulus analyzed; (4) number of GC candidates in the annulus; (5) mean and uncertainty of the first, blue, peak; (6) mean and uncertainty of the second, red, peak; (7) fraction of the GC candidates GMM associated to the second peak; (8−9) kurtosis, Col. (8), and separation, Col. (9), between the peaks in units of the fitted σ parameters. Values of DD larger than ~2, and negative kurtosis are necessary but not sufficient conditions for bimodality; (10) GMM value indicating the significance of the preference for a double Gaussian distribution over a single Gaussian (lower p(χ2) are more significant; p(χ2) close to unity means unimodal distribution is preferred over bimodal); (11) significance level with which a unimodal distribution can be rejected based on the Dip test (high p(Dip) are more significant).
