Caption: Figure 1.
Disentangled spectroscopic orbit of the CEP-1812 system, folded on the orbital period of 551.8 days (upper panel), and the pulsational radial velocity curve of the Cepheid, folded on its pulsation period of 1.31 days (lower panel). The Cepheid is the higher-mass star in the system (filled circles in the upper panel). The measured (constant) velocities of the faint third star in the light are not shown for clarity.
