Notes. (0)Data set previously unpublished.(1)Computed using the central wavelength for λ and D = 8.2 m for the diameter of the primary mirror. (2)PSF frames used a neutral density filter (ND_Long) with a transmission of 2.21 ± 0.07% in the L′ and 2.33 ± 0.10% in the M′ band; see Table A.2 in Bonnefoy et al. (2013).(3)Format: number of frames (after frame selection) × frame width in pixels × frame height in pixels.(4) Values obtained using MCMC with PCA-based PSF subtraction. The values for Beta Pictoris L/M′ are taken from Stolker et al. (2019); the values for R CrA L′ are taken from Cugno et al. (2019).(5) No published values available for this data set.
