From scrutinizing the above sets of equations, one may observe
a few important degeneracies:

1. Individual component masses do not show up anywhere in this equation set.

2. The degeneracy between semimajor axis 𝑎, total mass :math:`𝑀_{tot}`, and
parallax 𝜋. If we just had relative astrometric measurements and no external knowledge of the system parallax,
we would not be able to distinguish between a system
that has larger distance and larger semimajor axis (and therefore larger total mass,
assuming a fixed period) from a system that has smaller distance, smaller semimajor
axis, and smaller total mass.

3. The argument of periastron :math:`\omega_p` and the position angle of nodes Ω.
The above defined R.A. and decl. functions are invariant to the transformation:

.. math::
\omega_p' = \omega_p + \pi
\Omega' = \Omega - \pi
which creates a 180◦ degeneracy between particular values of :math:`\omega_p` and Ω, and
a characteristic “double-peaked” structure in marginalized 1D posteriors of these
parameters.
