A new algorithm for point-spread function subtraction in high-contrast imaging: a demonstration with angular differential imaging
Direct imaging of exoplanets is limited by bright quasi-static speckles in the point-spread
function (PSF) of the central star. This limitation can be reduced by subtraction of reference …
