Caption: Figure 4.

5σ contrast curve derived from the high-contrast side in final PSF-subtracted image shown in the right panel of Figure 1. The dashed horizontal lines correspond to masses as predicted by the DUSTY models (Chabrier et al. 2000) for an assumed age of 12 Myr. The red cross shows the position of β Pic b.
