Same plot as Fig. 10, illustrating situation #2, with HD 185269 b (P = 6.8 days, a_⋆ sin i = 0.001 mas, and ε_DR1 = 0.97 mas). Many simulations from about I_c = 0.1° up to 90° are compatible with ε_DR1 owing to noise. Smaller inclinations are rejected because the mass and luminosity are too large for the companion. The posterior distribution in the bottom panel is fully compatible with the prior sin I_c PDF.
