Tested evolution scenarios with corresponding χ2/degrees of freedom.

Model Parameters Raw flux Recalibrated flux
Model Parameters Fitted values χ2/d.o.f. Fitted values χ2/d.o.f.
Constant Mean flux [×10−12 cm−2 s−1] 1.70 ± 0.03 30.4/15 1.66 ± 0.05 14.9/15

Linear Gradient [×10−14 cm−2s−1 yr−1] −0.7 ± 0.9 28.6/14 −0.7 ± 1.1 14.5/14

Constant-by-era Mean fluxes [×10−12 cm−2 s−1] 1.75 ± 0.05 1.63 ± 0.07 26.2/14 1.69 ± 0.06 1.63 ± 0.09 14.6/14

Notes. Each model is described in Section 4.2. All models are compatible with our data, but nonconstant hypotheses are not significantly preferred by our data (uncertainties on the gradient in the linear model and on both constants in the constant-by-era model make them compatible with a constant solution).
