Distributions of spin magnitudes. The main population prefers low (but not necessarily zero) spins. The subpopulation’s primary spin magnitude distribution is fixed in shape but is allowed to vary in height, whereas its secondary spin magnitude distribution resembles its prior, so the data are not yet informative about the spin magnitudes of these systems.
