Figure caption: Posteriors of the leakage term corrections, applied after calibration with the 2017 M87* D-terms, obtained by THEMIS via fitting to the 2017 April 6 and 7 data on Sgr A* alone (i.e., without considering other calibrators). Contours show 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ cumulative regions. For comparison, the 2σ uncertainties from the THEMIS 2017 M87* values are indicated by the black error bars. The substantially weaker constraints on the IRAM 30 m (PV) and SMA D-terms are direct consequences of the relatively poorer parallactic angle coverage during the Sgr A* observations. Similarly, because M87* is not visible from the south pole, the SPT has no comparison point.
