Sorry, fans of “Forbidden Planet”, no Altair IV yet: Meshkat+ on “Searching for Planets around Altair with JWST/NIRcam” getting sub-Saturn mass limits close in to this nearby A star. All candidate point sources are background stars… a shame! #exoplanets #astrodon

A contrast curve for Altair: a red curve that marks the point source detection limit as a function of distance from the central star.A greyscale image showing several point sources scattered around a large halo of black and white dots, which are the residuals left from subtracting the bright star off of the middle of the image.
