Orbital Inclination of Astrometric Binaries and the Dearth of Face-on Orbits in Gaia DR3 Solutions
The orbital solutions for astrometric (unresolved) binary stars provided in the Gaia mission DR3 reveal an obvious deficit of face-on orbits with line-of-sight inclinations close to 0 or π . This is shown to be an intrinsic mathematical feature of the orbit estimation technique involving the interme...
