Description
The *_chain.txt files contain Markov chains that model the line-of-sight
velocity (RV_chains.txt), color-magnitude diagram (CMD_chains.txt), and
proper motion and the extent of the Ophiuchus stellar stream (PM_chains.txt). By randomly selecting rows from these files, one can sample the corresponding probability density functions.The columns in each file are briefly described below.
RV_chains.txt:
column 1: line-of-sight velocity at {ell}_0=5deg,
column 2: gradient in line-of-sight velocity, d(v_los)/d({ell})
column 3: additional scatter in line-of-sight velocities, s
CMD_chains.txt:
column 1: age, t
column 2: mass-loss parameter, eta
column 3: metallicity content, Z
column 4: offset in reddening with respect to the Schlegel et al. (1998)
[1998ApJ...500..525S] reddening, (E(B-V)_off)
column 5: distance modulus at {ell}_0=5deg,
column 6: gradient distance modulus, d(DM)/d({ell})
columns 7-11: uncertainty in isochrone magnitudes, {sigma}_iso_m,
where m=[g,r,i,z,y,]
PM_chains.txt:
column 1: fraction of stars associated with the field population, 1-f
column 2: natural logarithm of the width of the stream in the
galactic latitude direction, ln({sigma}_b)
column 3: natural logarithm of the width of the field population in the
galactic latitude direction, ln({sigma}_p_b)
column 4: A_p
column 5: B_p
column 6: ln({sigma}_pm)
column 7: ln({sigma}_p_pm)
column 8: <{mu}_{ell}>
column 9: d({mu}_{ell})/d({ell})
column 10: <{mu}_b>
column 11: d({mu}_b)/d({ell})
column 12: <{mu}_p_{ell}>
column 13: d({mu}_p_{ell})/d({ell})
column 14: <{mu}_p_b>
column 15: d({mu}_p_b)/d({ell})
column 16: {ell}_min
column 17: {ell}_max
column 18: A
column 19: B
column 20: C
