Caption: Figure B1.

A variety of possible contrast limits for the TMT PSI are plotted as solid, dashed, and dotted lines. Calculated contrasts for GJ 251 c are shown for a variety of planet radius and albedo values. GJ 251 c will test the limitations of PSI, but there are a number of scenarios where its direct imaging will be possible.
