Distributions of suppression factors and semimajor axis cuts from 106 chains of an MCMC analysis to model the observed close binary suppression seen in systems with TESS planet candidates. Solid lines indicate the median value of each distribution (acut = 46 au and Sbin = 0.24), and dashed lines mark the 68% confidence interval. The two parameters are correlated, such that less suppression is required if the semimajor axis cutoff is larger, and vice versa. A blue circle marks the values of the best-fit model from the Kepler sample of Kraus et al. (2016).
