Notes. – Parameter space values that are drawn together (f0, interstellar scattering, and data corruption effects) are written in italics. Non-nuisance parameters of physical interest are marked in bold. The scattering parameters are taken from Table 3 in Johnson et al. (2018). The GRMHD-GRRT parameter space is different for the exotic models (see Section 3.8).
