Predicted planet yield for the Sun-like and FGK-type stars as a function of the mirror diameter D from 1 m to 3.5 m in steps of 0.25 m. We show from left to right the predicted planet yields for the opt HZ, the con HZ, and the exo-Earth candidates, for the hab2max planet population with a median exozodiacal dust level of 3 zodi. The data points for the Sun-like and FGK-type stars are slightly offset to the left and right, respectively, to increase their visibility. We overlay in solid and dashed black the power-laws fit to the data with the best-fit power-law exponent shown in the legend. The wavelength range and the total throughput are kept constant at 4–18.5 µm and 5%, respectively.
