Caption: Figure 6.

A comparison of the Keplerian orbit solution and the observational data. The black ellipses are approximately to scale and show the shape of Huya and its satellite during the 2023 June 24 occultation. Colored crosses show relative astrometry at the various epochs of observation. Black lines connect the observations to the position predicted by the Keplerian model. Colored ellipses show the orbit during the first observation in that calendar year. The differences in apparent orbit over time show the changing opening angle of the satellite’s orbit (see Section 4).
