Detection limits in Jupiter masses from these observation compared to the previous best limits set on the system by VLT/NaCo in the L band (Lagrange et al. 2012a), comparable to that of Rodigas et al. (2014) obtained at L with MagAO/Clio-2.

Separation in ′′ VLT/NaCoa VLT/SPHEREb

0.1 32 15
0.2 32 5
0.5 3.5 2
1.0 3.0 1.5
1.5 2.0 1.5

Notes.

(a)

The detection limits are from the Sparse Aperture Mask mode of NaCo (Lacour et al. 2011) below 0.3′′ and from classical imaging above 0.3′′.

(b)

The detection limits are from the IFS below 0.4′′ and from IRDIS above 0.4′′.
