Evolving mass loss (top panels), mass (middle panels) and radius (bottom panels). Left panels: case of three planets of different masses, MP = 0.55 (red line), 1 (green line), and 2 MJ (blue line), subjected to identical irradiation FXUV = 1.1 × 106 erg cm−2 s−1. Right panels: the planetary mass is taken constant to MP = 1 MJ, while the initial X-ray luminosity is varied, (red line), 3 × 1029 (green line), 1.6 × 1030 erg s−1 (blue line). The dashed lines in the bottom left panel indicate the temporal evolution of the planetary size without evaporation (i.e. just considering gravitational shrink). Bottom right panel: the black dashed line marks the temporal evolution of the planetary radius due to gravitational contraction. Top labels indicate the initial X-ray luminosity (left panels), andplanetary mass (right panels).
