Summary of the injection-and-recovery test results for the F210M (left) and F410M (right). The upper panels show recovered light curves when injecting a flat line (blue) and a sinusoid (orange). The most noisy recovered light curves are presented to show the pessimistic scenario. The lower panels show the reduced χ2 between the recovered light curves and a flat line. The 5σ threshold and the observed values for β Pic b are shown as black and red horizontal lines, respectively, for comparison.
