Table 2.

Results summary for the timing analysis (central block) and the biparametric analysis (right-hand side block) on the MAHs, with each indicator given in each row.

Timing analysis (Sect. 3.2) Episodicity vs. timing analysis (Sect. 3.3)
Timing (strength) Feature being
at z = 0 at z = 0.5 constrained (strength)

Δr mid-time lowest lowest only episodicity low
η mid-time medium low mostly timing low
v r $ \langle \tilde v_r \rangle $ late-time medium high both low
s200c, 500c earliest time medium lowest mostly timing medium
ϵ early-time medium medium mostly timing medium
fsub early-time high high mostly timing high
λBullock early time medium medium only timing high
χ mid-time high high both medium

Notes. With respect to timing analysis, the first column specifies whether the indicator responds to instantaneous accretion (late-time), accretion ∼τdyn/4 ago (mid-time), ∼τdyn/2 ago (early-time) or higher (earliest-time). The subsequent two columns categorically assess the strength of the maximum correlation between the indicator and the accretion rates Γ200m(zc), as lowest (correlation ∼0.2), low (∼0.3), medium (∼0.4), and high (∼0.5), when the indicators are determined at z = 0 and at z = 0.5, respectively. Regarding the biparametric analysis (accretion timing and episodicity), we specify whether each parameter informs about mostly or only timing or mostly or only episodicity, or a mixture of both. The second column categorises the strength of the correlation with the whole MAH component in low (∼0.25), medium (∼0.5), and high (up to ∼0.75).
