Relative position of the secondary component of the Gaia DR3 source 1195466458504815104 with respect to the primary at the time of closest approach (TCA), the instant, in UTC, at which the minimum separation occurs between the predicted trajectory of the estimated center of the object and the occulted star. The black ellipse represents the orbit derived from the Gaia DR3 Thiele–Innes solution with 1σ uncertainty as the light gray region. The primary star is marked as a star, and the predicted position of the secondary is shown as a black dot with 1σ uncertainty as the dark gray region. The red symbol and error bars indicate the position of the secondary component derived from the stellar occultation analysis. The North (N) and East (E) directions are indicated.
