The constraints on measured intrinsic probability of targets having an atmosphere for surveys of different sizes, where all potential targets are bare, blackbody rocks in the ground truth. The histograms show the posterior distribution from target lists based on different ESM cuts, as well as the total number of targets and hours. The vertical lines show the 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for each target list.
