Boundaries of different conductivity sources in density-temperature space. The red area (krad AESOPUS) shows the tabulated region from the AESOPUS2.1 tables (Marigo et al. 2024; Eberlein & Helled 2025), and the dark blue (kelec FR17) and light blue (kvib F19) area shows the region with ab initio data points for partially ionized water (French & Redmer 2017; French 2019). The green (kelec C07) area shows the tabulated electron conductivity as implemented in MESA (Cassisi et al. 2007). Hatched regions with squared lines (kvib dominated) or dots (kelec dominated) indicate where kvib or kelec contribute more than 50% to the total conductivity assuming the Cond-1 model with Z = 20 for the radiative conductivity. The density temperature regimes around A, B, C, and D are of particular interest and are further discussed in Section 5.
