Notes. Square brackets indicate derived quantities. For the DDGR solution the b is fitted as a term in addition to the (very small) orbital decay caused by the emission of gravitational waves. For the grid solution, the values for χ2 correspond to those of the best point in the grid; they are slightly lower than the DDGR solution because for each point in the grid there are two parameters (M and Mc) that are assumed, not fitted.
