Linked from

The 10 pages that link to Direct imaging, each with the reason it gives.

• Debris diskRelated: Resolved images reveal disk rings, warps, and asymmetries that constrain unseen planets.

• Free-floating planetRelated: Infrared imaging can reveal nearby, young free-floating planets while they remain warm.

• Planetary-mass objectRelated: It detects young, luminous planetary-mass companions and measures their spectra.

• Proxima Centauri bRelated: Direct imaging could eventually reveal light from Proxima Centauri b and test for atmospheric signatures.

• ExomoonCompared with: It offers a possible route to some moons, unlike searches relying only on transiting planets.

• Exoplanet detectionRelated: It can reveal a planet’s own or reflected light rather than only its effect on a star.

• Large Binocular TelescopeCompared with: The telescope can image with its mirrors separately, unlike observations that combine their light interferometrically.

• Rogue planetRelated: It can find nearby, self-luminous rogue planets without relying on a background star.

• Substellar objectRelated: It can reveal young, luminous substellar companions beside their host stars.

• FomalhautRelated: Fomalhaut’s disk and candidate planets have been studied by separating their light from the star.
