Corner plots of the posterior distributions for the three IMF models, and the conditional posterior of the BPL model with Mb ∈ 0.5 ± 0.05. Vertical dashed lines indicate the 16th, 50th, and 84th percentiles of the marginal distributions. Red lines denote reference measurements from the solar neighborhood if available.
