Abstract

Context. Direct imaging of exoplanets located a few AU from their hosting star requires angular resolution at the diffraction limit of large telescopes and a contrast level in the image of 105 to 1010. Simultaneous use of adaptive optics and coronagraphy is mandatory to fulfil these requirements.
