Table 1: Parameter values of the radiative loss function corresponding to the considered regimes. The three prominence regimes represent different plasma optical thicknesses. Prominence (1) regime corresponds to an optically thin plasma whereas Prominence (2) and Prominence (3) regimes represent greater optical thicknesses. All quantities are expressed in MKS units.
