This contrast curve reports the flux ratio of our central aperture relative to the standard deviation of the background at varying radial distances for our two filters, F1000W (top) and F1500W (bottom). The dashed lines represent median contrast values of 0.0208 (F1000W) and 0.0653 (F1500W). These contrasts are reported as a limiting planet mass calculated by interpolating on the 4.54 Gyr Bex model. The innermost working angle is 7.95 au in F1000W and 11.83 au in F1500W.
