Potentially detectable currently-known exoplanets (coloured circles and histograms) compared to the total population of known exoplanets within 20 pc (grey dots and histograms), shown both as a function of their distance to the Solar System (top row) and their semimajor axis (bottom row). For LIFE (green), we assume the reference 4 × 2 m configuration with 5% throughput and consider planets as detectable if t_int(S/N = 7) < 100 h. For the notional HWO (blue), potential targets in reflected starlight are those that meet our IWA, OWA and C_min requirements (Sect. 2.3) and have P_access > 25%. In all subplots, the value of M_p reported for the potential targets is the output of our statistical methodology (Sect. 2.1). For the non-detectable exoplanets we plot M_p or alternatively M_p sin i as reported in the NASA Archive. Horizontal lines indicate the masses of Neptune (blue), Earth (green) and Mars (red).
