Spatial distribution of target stars and detected planets from FFI data. The top panel shows the southern ecliptic hemisphere, and the bottom panel shows the northern ecliptic hemisphere. Stars observed for one sector are shown in blue, two sectors in orange, three or more sectors in green, and stars in the CVZ are shown in purple. Detected planets are shown as red circles. A total of 4373 planets are shown, of which 54% were only observed for a single sector, and 11% were observed for 12 or 13 sectors. The lower density of stars, offset from the south ecliptic pole, is centered on the south celestial pole and is due to relatively incomplete proper-motion catalogs in the celestial south.
