Table 2:
Parameters of the various fitted orbits shown in
Fig. 3. The parameters shown are the mass of the primary,
mass of the secondary, major axis length, eccentricity, period,
position angle of the ascending node (measured anticlockwise from
north in the plane of the sky), inclination between the orbital plane
and the plane of the sky, and the longitude of periastron, defined as
the angle between the ascending node and the periastron measured in
the plane of the true orbit and taken in the direction of the
secondary's motion. All the orbits appear prograde on the sky. The
last line, labelled "Straight Line'', shows the
for the
best straight-line fit.
