The positions of the candidate companion HIP 17453 B relative to HIP 17453 A in terms of separation and position angle, as measured by Keck/NIRC2 (red points) from 2015 to 2025. Also shown are the expected range of positions for the likely orbits of a bound companion (blue bands) and a stationary background star (black and gray bands). HIP 17453 B is clearly bound to HIP 17453 A in terms of separation and position angle.
