Contours showing the contrast (Δm) where an S/N of 5 is reached as a function of H (left) and K (right) magnitudes of the host star and separation of a 1200 K planet in 2 h of observing time. The black and red contours show the limits for CRIRES+ and HiRISE without coronagraph, respectively. The gray dotted contour shows where HiRISE and CRIRES+ have equal performance, and the blue shaded regions indicate where CRIRES+ outperforms HiRISE for the provided contour lines. The magnitudes of known planet hosting stars are indicated with vertical green dashed lines, and the separations of their known companions with diamond markers.
