Image Details
Caption: Figure 4.
Four epochs of MWC 480 observations: N. Kusakabe et al. (2012) HiCIAO 2010 January 24; A. Garufi et al. (2024) SPHERE 2018 November 27; B. B. Ren et al. (2023) SPHERE 2021 December 10; and this work SCExAO/CHARIS 2022 January 24. All images are north-up, east-left. The images are normalized to the peak brightness. The original sign of the pixel values is conserved. The HiCIAO observation has no available Qϕ data so the PI product is shown. We note two shadow-like brightness dips in our SCExAO observation. Major (143°) and minor (53°) axes —determined by the disk model fitting (Section 3.2)—are indicated by the dotted lines. Note, all angles are measured here with north-up as 0°.
