Similar to Figure 7, but now accounting for baseline projection effects appropriate for a space-based interferometric baseline that can see the entire sky (see Section 3.3). The color scale and contours show the number of shadow-resolved, optically thin SMBHs that could be observed at 230 GHz by an interferometric baseline with finest angular resolution θr,0 and flux density sensitivity σν. The drawn contours mark the same source count values as those in Figure 4.
