Direct Imaging of Exoplanets in Nearby Multi-Star Systems

Abstract
Binary star systems can enhance the science output of almost any space mission that directly images exoplanets, if the technologies to suppress starlight in multi-star systems are matured. We describe the science benefits and opportunities of adding binary stars to such missions, as well as the key technology advances needed.
