Caption: Figure 5.
Upper limit of the orbital periods set by the Δν (dashed lines) and ﹩\dot{\nu }﹩ (solid lines) as a function of MWD, at different inclinations i, and for MNS = 1.2 (left) and MNS = 2.0 M⊙ (right). The areas of the parameter space incompatible with the hypothesis that both Δν and ﹩\dot{\nu }﹩ originate from orbital motion are represented in gray.
