Varying LIFE parameters – G star: minimum integration times necessary for detection against the planet’s emission temperature for an Earth-sized planet orbiting a Solar-sized star at 1 AU. The simulations were performed in the PESSIMISTIC (dashed), BASELINE (solid), and OPTIMISTIC (dotted) scenarios. The associations are respectively at distances of 37 pc (β Pictoris, red), 53 pc (TW Hydrae, blue), and 94 pc (η Chamaeleontis, green).
