SPHERE/IRDIS and NACO astrometry of the detected companion relative to the primary star versus time. Position angle is measured from north over east. The grey ribbon shows the expected location of a non-moving background object, while the dashed lines indicate possible circular orbital motion assuming a face-on orbit for position angle and an edge-on orbit for separation independently (these are mutual exclusive orbits to illustrate the maximum expected change in separation and position angle for the circular case).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
