Predicted planet yield for the sample of Sun-like stars. Each of the six panels shows the predicted yield for the three different HZ definitions in different colors (see Sect. 2.3) as well as for three different scenarios in different shadings: (1) median exozodiacal dust level of 3 zodi and interferometric baseline length optimization for the center of the opt HZ, (2) median exozodiacal dust level of 3 zodi and interferometric baseline length optimization for the center of the con HZ, and (3) median exozodiacal dust level of 12 zodi and interferometric baseline length optimization for the center of the opt HZ. The top row is based on the hab2min and the bottom row is based on the hab2max planet populations (see Sect. 2.2), while the left, middle, and right columns show the predicted yields for the 1, 2, and 3.5 m mirrors, respectively.
