Fig. 8

Upper panel: mass loss rate averaged over time (in kg s-1) vs. planet mass in the case of the dissipation of magnetic energy in a loop interconnecting the star with the planet. Lower panel: the estimated lifetime of evaporating planets vs. their mass. The horizontal dashed line marks an evaporation lifetime of 5 Gyr corresponding to the mean estimated age of solar-like main-sequence stars.
