Radial velocity behaviour of Gl 494 predicted by the adjustment of the direct imaging, HIPPARCOS, and Gaia data. The best-fit orbit from TMB (values in Table 2) is the green dotted line and sample orbits from the MCMC are in black. The red dots represent the radial velocity observations with their associated error bars. The systemic velocity of 0.59 km s⁻¹ was derived from a TMB adjustment of the radial velocities and the direct imaging data for the sole purpose of this visualisation.
