Joint PDF for the three-parameter model with a Gaussian component and a uniform contamination population. The marginalized PDF for the mean velocity ﹩\langle {v}_{r}\rangle ﹩, the fraction of contaminants η, and the velocity dispersion σint are also shown. Despite the contamination component, the PDF on the velocity dispersion remains similar to that of Figure 1, with ﹩{\sigma }_{\mathrm{int}}={9.2}_{-3.6}^{+4.8}\,\mathrm{km}\,{{\rm{s}}}^{-1}﹩.
