Notes. The parameters listed are the semi major axis, eccentricity, inclination, position angle of the ascending node, longitude of periastron, epoch of periastron passage, orbital period, and K-band magnitude. The stars S62 and S300 are not listed here, as their movement observed so far is consistent with a linear motion. Images serve as starting point for high-accuracy astrometric fitting, and the orbits are determined from positions provided by the latter.
