Caption: Figure 3.
Posterior contours for different combinations of nine parameters of the triple power-law model. Red and blue dashed lines indicate 50th, 16th, and 84th percentiles. The meanings of different model parameters can be found in Section 3.2. The yellow, light-blue, and dark-blue contours represent the 30%, 1σ, and 2σ regions of the MCMC post-burn distributions, respectively. The black line in the inset panel shows the selection-effect-free best-fit model radial density profile (renormalized to unity), with the red shaded region representing the 1σ model uncertainty, and two vertical black dashed lines mark two break radii.
