We present an experimental study of photon statistics for high-contrast imaging with the Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) Exoplanet Camera (MEC) located behind the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics System at the Subaru Telescope. We show that MEC measures the expected distributions for both on-axis companion intensity and...

We present the direct imaging discovery of a low-mass companion to the nearby accelerating F star, HIP 5319, using SCExAO coupled with the CHARIS, VAMPIRES, and MEC instruments in addition to Keck/NIRC2 imaging. CHARIS JHK (1.1-2.4 μm) spectroscopic data combined with VAMPIRES 750 nm, MEC Y, and NIRC2 L p photometry is best matched by an M3-M7...
