ALT These images are taken from Figure 1. of Squicciarini et al. (2025), which show signal-to-noise maps produced from PAtch-COvariance (PACO) algorithm. Visual description: Two squares sit side by side, the left one labeled GPI (2016-04-30), the right one labeled GPI (2019-08-10), with the text indicating observation dates for the images contained in the squares. The squares contain a mottled blue and black background with a yellow star near the center of each, and directly above the star in an almost 12 o'clock position is a small, white dot with a white arrow pointing to it that indicates the directly imaged exoplanet HD HD 143811 AB b.
