43 events from PLANET. Gaudi et al Projected Separation units of R E mostly M stars halfway to galactic center R E ~ 2.5 AU If 3/4 of lenses had planets above this line, they would have been detected. 1/4 3/4
Direct Detection: Optical Boo: A < 0.39 at i = 36 R=1.2 R J (Leigh et al. 2003) And: similar (Cameron et al. 2002) star star + planet
Direct Detection: Nulling (Mid+Near IR)
Achromatic Nuller Conventional Beam Combiner more planet photons, fewer star photons
Keck Interferometer
Inside Quadratic Null: star and planet are spectrally degenerate ( ) planet and flux are degenerate
