Table 4

Probability of detecting at least one magma ocean planet in the most promising stellar associations (β Pictoris, Tucana-Horologium, Columba, and TW Hydrae) for different integration times (5 and 50 h per star), instruments (L56: LIFE 5.6 μm, L10: LIFE 10 μm, E22: ELT 2.2 μm, E38: ELT 3.8 μm), and atmospheric emissivities (or steam atmosphere).

Notes. We do not show detection probabilitiesfor ELT 11.6 μm, as it is not able to detect any magma ocean planets (cf. Fig. 5).
