Notes. Checkmarks (✓) indicate physical median jet fractions (fj ≤ 1). Crosses (×) indicate non-physical scenarios with median fj > 1. The aperture angle is fixed at 6.1° for top-hat models and the distribution median for non-universal models, following Rouco Escorial et al. (2023).
Required θ* > 15.4°.
More than 10% of the inferred jet population exceeds θc = 15°.
Required θ* exceeded prior bounds.
