Simulated images at λ = 950nm. a) Simulated object map and b) associated image in the focal plane. The following planets are simulated: one with a star-over-planet contrast of 10⁵ at a separation of 0.2 arcsec (planet 1), two with star-over-planet contrast of 10⁶ at separations of 0.2 (planet 2) and 0.4 (planet 3), respectively, and one with a star-over-planet contrast of 10⁷ at a separation of 0.4 arcsec (planet 4). The image in the focal plane is obtained by convolving the object map o_λ by the non-coronagraphic psf . c) Simulated aberrations and d) associated image of the speckle field in the image focal plane. The image is given by the coronagraphic PSF .
