Fig. B.2

Examples of lifting the ambiguity on the ascending node for a visual binary.
Top (cases 2, 5 of Table B.1): the slope of the computed curve is opposite to that of the
Vr(B) −
Vr(A)
measurements: it is then necessary to add 180° to the values of
Ω and
ω
given by the 6th Catalog of Orbits of Visual Binary Stars (6th COVBS; Hartkopf et al. 2001). Bottom
(cases 3, 6 of Table B.1): the
slope of the computed
curve is opposite to that of
Vr(A)
measurements; there is no need to change the values of Ω and ω listed in the 6th
COVBS.
