De-rotated and co-added VISIR-NEAR images of the T Tau triple system and the two-component fit (left-hand column, red circles) and the corresponding maps of the reduced χ² (right-hand column) in the ARIII, SIV_1, SIV_2, and NEII filters (from top to bottom). In the right-hand panels, the red circle highlights the best fit position for the companion (here, the companion is assumed to be the combined PSF of T Tau Sa and Sb). The relative flux f₂, the angular separation ρ₂ [mas], and the position angle ϕ₂ [deg] of the best fit are printed in the left-hand panels, and its reduced χ² is printed in the right-hand panels. We note that the NEII data are centered on T Tau S, which is the brighter component at 12.80 μm.
