Evolution of the degassed atmospheric components in four example planets that formed with 4 times the initial water budget. The main difference from the nominal simulations in Figure 5 is the increased H2O and H2 content in the atmosphere after envelope loss, other atmospheric components remained unchanged. In addition, in this increased water accretion case, the 0.5 Earth mass planet also loses its entire atmosphere due to the increased presence of H2 driving atmospheric loss more easily.
