Distribution of expected EVE planets from the gas-dwarf model shown with Galactic coordinates, stellar type, and magnitude. The top panel shows the existing planet population is plotted in gray, with the known young planets highlighted. The dense star-forming regions in Orion are ≈300 pc away, and late-type stars in these regions are too faint to yield significant numbers of planet detections with TESS. In contrast, most known systems have been discovered in the nearby Scorpius–Centaurus, Taurus, and β Pic regions. The Middle and bottom panels show the expected planet-hosting star spectral type and TESS band magnitudes.
