Notes. a Most probable value of neutron star mass (in solar masses). b Not reported because the solution acceptance fraction is too low to yield a statistically significant estimate. c Most probable value of neutron star radius (in kilometers). d Acceptance fraction in the entire MC sampling, defined for each solution branch as the fraction of realizations that yield a real algebraic solution and satisfy the causality condition. e Fraction in the entire MC sampling that violates the causality condition. f Fraction in the entire MC sampling for which no algebraic solution exists. Each sampled blocking factor is based on 2 × 106 Monte Carlo realizations. A single MC sample can produce two solutions. The β+ solution lies closer to the causality limit (β = 1/2.94) than the β− solution.
