atmospheric loss in which a planet's own cooling core heats its envelope and drives escape, proposed to explain the gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

In planetary science, core-powered mass loss refers to atmospheric loss in which a planet's own cooling core heats its envelope and drives escape, proposed to explain the gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. This meaning comes from Ginzburg (2018) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
