Fig. 6 is a "representative" drawing, but I think you're right that there's no direct imaging.

<p>I Googled to see the actual image but unfortunately all are graphical images.So can I see the actual image as captured by the Calar Alto Observatory?</p>

The work on [the recent paper](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.5575v1.pdf) was done using spectra and light curves, not via direct imaging. There may not be a good image to view. I checked the [Hubble Legacy Archive](http://hla.stsci.edu/hlaview.html#) and could not find a Hubble image of the object.
