Caption: Figure 8.
Larger (χA, darker blue) and smaller (χB, lighter blue) spin magnitude distributions, derived from imposing order statistics on the GAUSSIAN COMPONENT SPINSχ distribution shown in Figure 7. The solid lines show the median of each inferred distribution, and the shaded regions show the 90% credible intervals.
