Abstract

Data release accompanying Plunkett et al. 2025. The files contain the posterior samples for the analyses on each Pop III universe, TOP and LOG. Each file includes the combined samples from the 50 normalizing flows that comprise the deep ensemble used for the Pop III mass model. The hyperparameters are described in Table III of Plunkett et al. 2025.
