Posterior of the MCMC chain. Columns left to right show the starting angular position of the emitting region (Ω0), the width of the Gaussian electron-injection pulse (σ), the time of the maximum electron-injection rate (﹩{t}_{{\rm{\max }}}﹩), the magnetic field strength (B), the total number of injected electrons (﹩\mathrm{log}({N}_{{\rm{e}}})﹩), the flux density of the constant 220 GHz component (ϕ in units of mJy), and the orbit radius of the emitting region in units of the Schwarzschild radius (﹩{R}_{{\rm{flare}}}/{R}_{{\rm{S}}}﹩). Histograms above or to the right of each column show the probability distribution for the corresponding parameter, and each parameter's median value and uncertainty (16% and 84% range) are shown above its histogram plot.
