Caption: Figure 10.

(Left) Relative astrometry of HIP 17453 B (red stars) with respect to HIP 17453 A (yellow star), showing 50 randomly selected draws from the orbital posterior (purple ellipses) generated using orbitize! (S. Blunt et al. 2017, 2020). (Right) The relative separations (top) and position angles (bottom), with the observed NIRC2 measurements and errors (red points). The orbit is not well constrained from the small amount of orbital motion over the past decade, as expected.
