Comparison between the posterior distribution on ﹩\tilde{{\rm{\Lambda }}}﹩ when marginalizing over Λ1 and when only considering values of Λ1 < 30. The range Λ1 < 30 is chosen in order to well-approximate the conditional distribution at Λ1 = 0 while reducing noise in the histogram. The distributions shown here have already implemented zero support on parameter sets that result in Mrem < 0.1 M and uniform support where Mrem > 0.1 based on the electromagnetic analysis in Section 3.2 and Hinderer et al. (2019). The difference between the two distributions is small enough to justify the approximation made in this Letter.
