Notes. Each entry shows the ranges of p-values obtained from a sample of 50 series of mock catalogs A. Each series is made of a spherical halo and spheroidal halos with axial symmetry about the z axis with six different values of the triaxiality parameter qz. Column (1): HVS phase-space coordinate in the galactocentric reference frame. Columns (2)–(4): p-value of the KS test for a spherical halo compared against a prolate halo (with qz = 1.4, qz = 1.1, qz = 1.05). Columns (5)–(7): p-value of the KS test for a spherical halo compared against an oblate halo (with qz = 0.7, qz = 0.9, qz = 0.95). A single p-value is shown instead of a p-value range when the relative difference between the limits of the p-value interval is smaller than 10−2. With the adopted 5% significance level, p-values smaller than 5% indicate that the compared distributions are not drawn from the same parent distribution, implying that the corresponding phase-space variable can be an indicator of the shape of the DM halo.
