Fig. 9

Number of transits needed to reach an S/N of 5 for selected spectral features of M-dwarf planets and the Earth-Sun case and different distances to the star. Central wavelength and bandwidths are shown in Table 4. The suddenreductions of the needed observation time happen when there are changes in the duty cycle and when a filter-disperser combination with a higher throughput can be used.
