Corner plot showing joint posterior maps of various parameters and their marginalized probability density functions. The observations of 12 Psc B and its host star favor a high-eccentricity orbit and a semimajor axis of ≈40 au. The dynamical mass of the white dwarf companion 12 Psc B is ﹩{0.605}_{-0.022}^{+0.021}﹩ M_⊙.
