Top] [Prev] [Next] . We have searched five nearby stars for faint companions using the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on HST as a coronagraph. Each target star was positioned behind the bar (width 0.27 arcsec) of the FOS large barred aperture. This was followed by a long exposure ACQIMAGE, revealing detail in the open regions of the aperture (1.7 arcsec square). ... For these two stars, the close companions were resolved. ...
