Caption: Figure 6.

Posterior distributions for line-of-sight stellar inclinations determined in this study. Blue shaded regions show 1σ and 2σ credible intervals. Stars viewed equator-on have inclinations of 90°, while pole-on orientations have inclinations of 0°. Note that the direction of the angular momentum vector in the sky plane is usually unknown, as is its orientation toward or away from the observer. For comparison, an isotropic prior distribution is shown in Figure 8.
