Searching the literature, we found 25 stars with directly imaged planets and
candidates. We gathered photometric and spectral information for all these
objects to derive their luminosities in a homogeneous way, taking a bolometric
correction into account. Using theoretical evolutionary models, one can then
estimate the mass from luminosity, temperature, and age. According to our mass
estimates, all of them can have a mass below 25 Jup masses, so that they are
considered as planets.
