Detectable exoplanets with the current four-UT configuration with a 100 m baseline (left) at the J band and the proposed five-UT with 200 m baselines (right) at the I band. Blue and purple circles and histograms show the detectable planets in 30 h of integration time in each case, and green ones correspond to planets detectable in 3 h. Empty circles indicate planets that could be detectable by such an instrument but are out of the Dec ∈ {−90°, +30°} interval observable from Paranal, and thus not included in the tally of detectable planets. Grey dots and histograms show the ensemble of known exoplanets within 30 pc. For non-detectable exoplanets, we plot either M_p or M_p sin i as reported in the NASA Archive. Horizontal lines indicate the masses of Neptune (blue), Earth (green) and Mars (red).
