Caption: Figure 4.

NIRC2 K-band image and contrast curve. Our NIRC2 observations using the Br-γ filter rule out companions having K-band contrasts of <7.9 mag for separations of 0.7–8.0 arcsec. The inset shows a 4 × 4 arcsec subregion in order to highlight the sensitivity of NIRC2 to companions at small orbital separations.
