Comparison of MLOCI to PCA and regular ADI for different pull factors (see Sect. 2). We attempted to recover simulated companions with contrasts of ~9−11 mag at 0.̋5 separation. We compare the 95% completeness contrast and completeness improvements for regular ADI, PCA, and MLOCI reductions. The subtraction annulus width W is set to 16, while the artificial sky motion α was set to 2.15 ×FWHM.
