Notes. The parameters are derived from a modified DDH timing solution, except a) the higher (> 1) order orbital frequency derivatives, which are derived from the spin frequency derivatives and b) the derived parameters below the horizontal lines. The values in the parenthesis indicate 1-σ uncertainties on the last digit.
