Figure 7: Links between detection methods in space (second column) and ground (fourth column),<br />
resulting statistical information (first column) and candidate detections (third column). Experiments<br />
which are not approved are shown as dashed boxes. The large dash-dotted boxes show<br />
the cumulative statistical knowledge, and the cumulative candidate lists respectively. Solid arrows<br />
show the candidates resulting from a particular observation. Dotted arrows indicate the follow-up<br />
observations needed. Note that the Kepler detections will all be in the northern hemisphere, and<br />
thus unobservable from ESO.<br />
