Dependence of the mass of the secondary component as a function of the inclination of the binary. Left panel: Secondary mass versus inclination for Gaia DR3 178734862161885440 ellipsoidal candidate. The black vertical line marks the minimum mass computed, for sin i = 1, while the dashed vertical line is its associated error. The horizontal orange line is the minimum inclination of the system, while the dashed orange lines are the inclination error. In the top right corner, the minimum mass and the mass obtained from the minimum inclination are reported. The area under the curve corresponds to the range of masses possible for this system. Right panel: Minimum secondary mass versus the maximum secondary mass. The color coding is based on the minimum inclination of the system.
