Scaled view of the binary system of KIC 4862625 viewed perpendicular to the orbital plane. The inner ellipse shows motion of the primary, while the outer ellipse shows the secondary. The two stars orbit the barycenter of the system (cross symbol) in a counter-clockwise direction. Numbers along the orbits indicate the configuration of the binary system at the times of the planetary transits. At these times, the planet and the primary star align along the y-axis. The planetary orbit is outside the scale of the figure. The diagram is to scale.
