Planet detection limits as a function of the separation from the star for the SPHERE H-band. The purple curve is the 3σ contrast obtained from the total intensity SPHERE image of WaOph 6. The markers show the magnitude contrast of the proposed 10 M_Jup planet at 140 au estimated from different evolutionary models. The red markers show the resulting contrast for the “hot-start” scenario from the Baraffe et al. (2003) (red diamond) and Spiegel & Burrows (2012) (red dot) models, while the blue dot shows the contrast for a “cold-start” from the Spiegel & Burrows (2012) models. The green square shows the contrastfrom the BEX-WARM models (see text). And the green dots show the contrast for different initial entropy values from the Spiegel & Burrows (2012) models.
