Separation (Sep.) and position angle (PA) of the companion, with respect to 2MASS0103A and to the centre of mass of the binary.

	2002-10-28	2012-11-25


Sep. from 2M0103A (″)	1.682 ± 0.015	1.784 ± 0.003
PA from 2M0103A (°)	341.7 ± 0.05^*	339.8 ± 0.01^*


Sep. from barycenter (″)	1.718 ± 0.015	1.770 ± 0.003
PA from barycenter (″)	338.0 ± 0.05^*	336.1 ± 0.01^*

Notes.

^(*)

The error in position angle refers to the relative error between both epochs. The absolute error, dominated by systematic uncertainties in the position of the reference stars in theta Ori, is ±0.4°.
