Table 1: System parameters for Sk 160/SMC X-1. The two values for $K_{\rm o}$ are those resulting from fitting the He I absorption line RV curve without and with heating corrections respectively. The four columns for the various inferred parameters are the limiting values assuming $\beta = 1$ and $i = 90^{\circ }$ for each of these two values of $K_{\rm o}$ as discussed in the text.
