Removal of Hot Saturns in Mass–Radius Plane by Runaway Mass Loss

The hot Saturn population exhibits a boundary in mass–radius space, such that no planets are observed at a density less than ∼0.1 g cm ^−3 . Yet, planet interior structure models can readily construct such objects as the natural result of radius inflation. Here, we investigate the role X-ray and ext...
