Preliminary constraints on the outer orbital parameters. Panel (A): residual distribution of the FAST-measured pulsar periods (δP in milliseconds) versus eccentricity e2 and orbital frequency forb2 (yr−1), plotted on a logarithmic scale. The best fits follow the darker curve, which shows the coupling between e2 and forb2. Panel (B): best-fit δP as a function of forb2 for a given set of Mstar = 1 M⊙ and S⊥ = 11,000 lt-s constrained from the optical and infrared counterpart. The total mass Mt for the optimal orbital parameters should be in the range 2.4–3.6 M⊙, with forb2 highlighted by the shaded region, corresponding to the orbital period of the outer orbit Porb2 between 50 and 150 yr and the eccentricity e2 between 0.50 and 0.75.
