Notes.a is the semi-major axis in mas (44 mas = 18.2 ± 0.3 AU), P the period in years, e the eccentricity, τ the time of the periastron passage, Ω the longitude of the ascending node, ω the argument of periapsis, and i the inclination of the orbit. The results of Kraus et al. (2009) and this work agree within the error bars. The results of Balega et al. (2015) differ in τ and ω with this work.
