What if we Find Nothing? Bayesian Analysis of the Statistical Information of Null Results in Future Exoplanet Habitability and Biosignature Surveys

Future telescopes will survey temperate, terrestrial exoplanets to estimate the frequency of habitable ( η _Hab ) or inhabited ( η _Life ) planets. This study aims to determine the minimum number of planets ( N ) required to draw statistically significant conclusions, particularly in the case of a n...
