It is the first time the Keck Interferometer Nuller instrument has identified such a compact cloud around a star so far away.
The nuller antennas resist jamming from within their respective coverage areas by changing their gain patterns when a jamming signal is detected.
The MDR antennas consist of eight narrow spot-beam antennas: six distributed user coverage antennas (DUCAs), and two narrow spot beams with nulling capabilities, known as nuller antennas.
