Caption: Figure 5.

Left: modeled projected orbits of J1446B from fitting the Gaia DR3 acceleration (a red arrow in left) and two measured Keck/NIRC2 relative astrometric measurements (blue dots in left), and Subaru/IRD RVs (red dots in right). The host star defines the origin and is indicated by a black star; one hundred random orbital draws are shown and color coded by companion mass, with the best-fit orbit (black). The fitted offset at 2016.0 is plotted in red, and the direction of the measured Gaia DR3 acceleration is indicated by the red arrow. Right: modeled RVs from a random sampling of orbits from the posterior are color coded by companion mass with the best-fit orbit.
