Caption: Figure 1.
CHARIS PDI results showing Qϕ (left panel) and Uϕ (middle panel) for the three previously detected disks. The color bar is set such that red is positive and blue is negative. Each disk is detected, as can be seen by the positive Qϕ and noise-like Uϕ. The 0﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{^{\prime\prime} }﹩1 coronagraphic IWA for MWC 480 is marked by the hatched region. The black points (indicated with arrows) in the left column show the approximate location of the kinematically predicted planets from C. Pinte et al. (2020) assuming CCW rotation (same as the disk; S. A. Barenfeld et al. 2016; R. Teague et al. 2019) at Keplerian speed over a 5 yr baseline. The right column shows radial signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Signal data was extracted from Qϕ and radial noise from Uϕ using Equation (6). The central star is masked out and does not contribute to the calculation. (The ﹩{Q}_{\phi }﹩ and ﹩{U}_{\phi }﹩ fits files are available in the online version.)
