Left: median combination of one cube of unsaturated exposures of β Pictoris used to determine the photometry. The effect of the APP can be seen in the left side of the PSF where the diffraction rings are effectively suppressed increasing the contrast between 2 and 7 λ/ D. Middle: median combination of one cube of saturated exposures of the PSF reference star HR2435. Right: median combination of all PSF-subtracted science exposures. β Pictoris b is indicated by the arrow. The right side suffers from subtraction residuals as does the central region of the PSF, which has been masked out.
