results/galPosterior_z5/readme.md

+This directory includes results for the astrophysically informed model (gal). 
+Three analyses were performed using different numbers of frequency bins from 
+the PTA analysis. The results are included in the directories: ptmcmc_f3, 
+ptmcmc_f5, and ptmcmc_f9 for the analyses using 3, 5, and 9 frequency bins, 
+respectively. 
+
+The 9 frequency bin results were used for the EPTA paper plots. 
+
+Within each directory, there are two chain files as the ananysis was run twice
+and the chains combined to produce the paper figures. 
+
+The columns in each file are:
+
