Summary
Figure 2: Three false color images of the κ And ("Kappa Andromedae") system, generated from data collected in July 2012 with the Subaru Telescope in Hawai'i. Almost all of the light of the host star, on which the image is centered, has been removed through image processing; the host star is covered by the dark, software-generated disk in the center. In each image, the Super-Jupiter κ And b is visible to the upper left.
Left: Near infrared image (wavelength between 1.2 and 2.4 micrometers)
Center: A "signal-to-noise ratio map" generated from the left image. The whiteness of each speckle indicates that probability that we are dealing not with an artefact ("noise"), but with the trace of a real object ("signal"). The white feature toward the upper left, representing a high signal-to-noise value, indicates the high-confidence, super-Jupiter detection.
Right: Near infrared image (wavelength: 3,8 micrometers)
