Caption: Fig. 11.

Left: Radial profiles of the azimuthally averaged, reconstructed images. The dot‐dashed, dotted, and dashed lines correspond to 1.51, 1.64, and 1.78 μm respectively. Right: Azimuthal profiles of the radially averaged, reconstructed images. The dot‐dashed, dotted, and dashed lines correspond to 1.51, 1.64, and 1.78 μm respectively. The solid curve corresponds to the mean values. The azimuthal profiles clearly show at least three peaks. Two of those features correspond to off‐axis point‐source solutions of the three component model presented in § 4.5.
