Caption: Figure 2.

Scatter in log ₁₀δ _GDR as a function of α _CO; each dot shows a calculation for a trial α _CO. The shaded histograms in the background show the distribution of best-fit α _CO achieved across bootstrapping and variation of assumptions; they give some indication of the likelihood of a given α _CO describing the data.
