Abstract: We discuss a method to construct Dirac-harmonic maps developed by J.~Jost, X.~Mo and M.~Zhu in J.~Jost, X.~Mo, M.~Zhu, emph{Some explicit constructions of Dirac-harmonic maps}, J. Geom. Phys. extbf{59} (2009), no. 11, 1512--1527.The method uses harmonic spinors and twistor spinors, and mainly applies to Dirac-harmonic maps of codimension $1$ with target spaces of constant sectional curvature.Before the present article, it remained unclear when the conditions of the theorems in J.~Jost, X.~Mo, M.~Zhu, emph{Some explicit constructions of Dirac-harmonic maps}, J. Geom. Phys. extbf{59} (2009), no. 11, 1512--1527, were fulfilled. We show that for isometric immersions into spaceforms, these conditions are fulfilled only under special assumptions.In several cases we show the existence of solutions.
