Definition of the location of the regime transition point (ΛRTP) for M* = 0.6 M, Teq = 1100 K, Rpl = 5 R, and FEUV = 543.3 erg s cm−2. Grey circles show the atmospheric mass-loss rates against Λ given by the hydrodynamic model. The red asterisks denote points identified as planets in the core-powered or Roche lobe overflow regime ( ≥ 1012 g s−1 and Rroche > 1.5; the latter condition excludes points that are too much affected by the lower boundary condition). The blue crosses denote the points in the XUV-driven regime ( ≤ 109 g s−1). The red and dashed blue lines show the linear fits in the log –log Λ space for these two groups of points, as specified in the plot. The yellow star gives the position of the regime transition point.
