I_disk images at H band. Left: without rotating the flux-scaled HD 161743 image. Right: rotating the HD 161743 image to match the spider’s pattern (indicated by dashed-lines) in the HD 142527 image. The innermost (r ≤ 0.67′′) regions are masked out to remove artifacts. The white arrows point to previously identified ghosts, which are enhanced when rotating the PSF to correct for the spiders. Bar units are given in counts. The bright path to the east, immediately above the dotted spider line, is an artifact of the PSF-subtraction process.
