\caption{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.}
