Relationship (dotted line) between the perturbation size (﹩a_{A}﹩) and inclination angle (i) for fixed P, ﹩K_{A}﹩, e, and πabs through the Pourbaix & Jorissen (2000) relationship (eq. [6]). Our determined value for the perturbation size and inclination is given by the circle. The right axis maps the inclination to the corresponding companion mass (﹩M_{B}﹩). Our adopted value for the uncertainty in the companion mass is plotted as the error bar for this axis. The formal uncertainties in our determined ﹩a_{A}﹩ and i are smaller than the circle.
