Posterior probability distributions of six high-density RMF parameters using PKDD at subsaturation density.

Caption

This panel shows the same Bayesian inference analysis with PKDD as the low-density functional. Compared with Figs. 1 and 2, it highlights that some inferred quantities are model dependent. In particular, the response of the symmetry-energy-related sector differs from the DD-ME2 and TW99 cases, illustrating how improved observations can help discriminate among competing nuclear functionals.
