Caption: Figure 6.

Geometry of the occultation in the sky plane showing the same region of interest as Figure 4. Top: nominal solution for the primary (larger) and secondary (smaller) components of the occulting object for the favored model ﹩{{ \mathcal M }}_{5}﹩. Solid green circles are the detection of the primary and secondary components due to the primary star while dashed blue circles are the detections of the same object but due to the occultation of the secondary star. Bottom: comparison for the nominal parameter values of the similar model ﹩{{ \mathcal M }}_{6}﹩ but where the detection in Bishop is produced by the secondary object component occulting the secondary star instead of the primary.
