The atmospheric detection significance as a function of the number of observed close transits for a full Earth-like atmosphere retrieval with POSEIDON. The 10 different noise instances are each given by a different color. With 15 close transits, we are able to achieve at least a Δln Z = 5, “strong evidence” detection of an Earth-like atmosphere.
