MCMC posterior distributions from the fit to the outer disk (1﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{{\unicode{x02033}}}﹩44–2﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{{\unicode{x02033}}}﹩98). The inclination posterior is broad and asymmetric; we, therefore, report a 2σ upper limit of ﹩9\mathop{.}\limits^{^\circ }75﹩, marked by the blue dashed line. Because its allowed inclination range overlaps those for the whole- and inner-disk fits, this result does not by itself establish a statistically significant radial change in geometry, although it remains consistent with a warped geometry.
