The 13 pages that link to Direct imaging of exoplanets, each with the reason it gives.

• ExoplanetRelated: Imaging can reveal atmospheric and orbital properties that indirect detections cannot show directly.

• Radial velocity methodCompared with: Imaging can reveal a planet’s light, whereas the radial velocity method measures its effect on starlight.

• Transit methodCompared with: It can reveal planets at wide apparent separations, where transits are unlikely.

• Alpha CentauriRelated: Alpha Centauri’s proximity makes direct imaging proposals especially relevant.

• Transmission spectroscopyCompared with: Direct imaging avoids the transit geometry required for transmission spectroscopy.

• Planetary transitCompared with: Unlike transit observations, direct imaging spatially separates the planet from its star.

• Disk instabilityRelated: Imaging distant massive planets tests whether disk instability can form companions at wide separations.

• TESSCompared with: Direct imaging separates planetary light, whereas TESS infers planets from blocked starlight.

• Earth analogRelated: Direct images can provide spectra and colors that indirect detections cannot.

• Gemini ObservatoryRelated: Gemini instruments have directly imaged young exoplanets and their surrounding environments.

• Epsilon EridaniRelated: Imaging the system can distinguish real companions from signals inferred indirectly.

• Geometric albedoRelated: Reflected-light observations can constrain a planet's wavelength-dependent geometric albedo.

• Giant Magellan TelescopeBroader topic: The telescope’s aperture and adaptive optics are intended to improve access to young, bright exoplanets.
