Table B.1.
List of parameters and their priors.
| Parameter | Description | Prior |
|---|---|---|
| β | β-model slope | pos-normal(0.67,10) |
| rc | β-model core radius | pos-normal(0,100) |
| in arcminutes | ||
| m | Scaling relation slope | ∝(1+m2)−3/2 |
| b | Scaling relation intercept | non-informative uniform |
| λy | Intrinsic scatter in y | pos-normal(0,10) |
| λxy | Correlation coefficient | uniform[−1,1] |
| between x and y |
Notes. The prior of the scaling relation slope is assumed to be uniform in sin(Θ) (VanderPlas 2016), with Θ being the angle between the best-fit line and the x-axis. The term “pos-normal” refers to a probability distribution that follows an ordinary normal distribution but is set to zero for negative parameter values, meaning that the parameter is restricted to be positive.
