From this solution, we derive the inclination of the wide orbit (AB-cd) as 94.4 degrees +/- 0.2 degrees, angle of nodes as 247.3 degrees +/- 0.2 degrees, and the mass of the wide component (the dwarf binary cd) as 0.98 +/- 0.2 M-.. This study confirms that the light travel time effect can explain the sinusoidal O - C variation of the eclipsing system.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesseclipsing binariestriple systemsastrometrylight time effectConference Object2961-413113410.1007/s10509-005-4413-3Q4WOS:0002288200000162-s2.0-18444391465Q2
