Scientific paper

We present results from a high-contrast imaging survey that exploits a novel technique, L-band angular differential imaging. Building on the low thermal background of the MMT adaptive optics system we utilize the unique sensitivity achieved in the L-band on old planets to probe all M-dwarf stars within 6 pc. The proximity of these targets enables direct imaging of planets in orbits like Jupiter for the first time - a key step toward directly imaging giant planets.
