Slopes β obtained from fitting the γ-ray power spectra with a simple power-law model, and the corresponding success fraction calculated based on the PSRESP method (Uttley et al. 2002) (see Sect. 4.1) (the success fractions indicate the goodness of fit obtained from the PSRESP method).

Notes. The β values have been determined using both monthly and weekly light curves, as well as the Timmer & Koenig (1995) and Emmanoulopoulos et al. (2013) simulation methods. The errors are results from fitting Gaussians to each of the slope profiles.
