Direct Imaging Search for Extrasolar Planets in the Pleiades
http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.3100

Survey was calculated to have detection efficiency of 90% in the range 6—12 jovian masses at distances 50—1000 AU from the target stars. No planets were found, estimated upper limit on the frequency of such planets in the Pleiades is 17.9% (2-sigma).
