Throughput is shown as a function of radial distance to the center of the round coronagraphic mask (MASK335R). The inner working angle (IWA) of the mask (defined as 50% throughput) is at 0﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x02033}}﹩63 (J. E. Krist et al. 2009b). The locations of the four known planets are marked with dotted lines. Planets b and c are outside of the mask, but d is partially blocked (62% throughput) and planet e is well inside the IWA (14% throughput).
