Mass-radius posterior distributions showing the 2D histogram for the PP (left panel) and CS (right panel) extensions with Bayesian χEFT uncertainties up to 1.5n0 with pQCD extensions (GP-N3LO with pQCD extension, upper panels) and uniformly sampled in the previous N3LO range (N3LO, lower panels). The dark shaded hexagons indicate a lower number of mass–radius samples, while the lighter shaded hexagons indicate a higher number of mass–radius samples. The insets show the radius distribution for a 1.4 M star, indicated by the black dashed lines.
