Caption: Figure 7.

Solar system at 10 pc magnitude with HWO, face-on in columns 1 and 2, and at an inclination of 60° in columns 3 and 4. This scene was simulated with ExoVista (C. C. Stark 2022). For each inclination, the imaging generated for each pupil type (off-axis pupil and on-axis pupil) is shown. The Fresnel number f changes with wavelength; hence, the on-axis contrast varies slightly but is maintained below <10−9 over the band. Angular resolution decreases with wavelength, while the inner working angle varies minimally with wavelength.
