Assessing Core-powered Mass Loss in the Context of Early Boil-off: Minimal Long-lived Mass Loss for the Sub-Neptune Population

We develop a Python-based state-of-the-art sub-Neptune evolution model that incorporates both the post-formation boil-off at young ages ≤1 Myr and long-lived core-powered mass loss (∼Gyr) from interior cooling. We investigate the roles of initial H/He entropy, core luminosity, energy advection, radi...
