Distances of planets found in our simulation in parsecs. The top panel shows both distance and ecliptic latitude of the host stars, and the bottom panel is distance plotted against planet radius. Almost all 2-minute cadence planets discovered by TESS will be within 300 pc, with 77% within 200 pc. FFI planets were found over 1000 pc away, but 90% of planets were within 700 pc.
