A triangle diagram illustrating the parameter distribution for the sample of 57 TDEs when a single power-law mass–radius relation is used. The underlying MCMC procedure took 50,000 steps. The color plots show the 2D marginalized distribution of different pairs of parameters; the histograms show the 1D marginalized distributions. Note the independence of αBH from all other parameters and the weak positive correlations between Mb and α1 and α2. These correlations ensure that even when Mb is larger the population is dominated by low-mass stars.
