Orbits of M dwarf systems determined from the imaging data in Table 1. One system shown here (GJ 84 AB) also incorporated the RV data in Table 2; its corresponding RV fit is shown in Figure 9. Each orbit’s parameters are given in Table 4 or Table 5, as fit by the code ORBIT (Section 4.4). The points mark observations from SOAR (filled circles) and the literature (open circles), with each indicating the location of the secondary star with respect to the primary (marked by the filled black star). Uncertainties on each observation are plotted here as error bars, but they are often smaller than these point sizes. In each plot, the dotted line shows the location of the periastron, and the red arrow shows the direction of motion.
