XUV-driven mass loss from extrasolar giant planets orbiting active stars

•XUV spectra for eps Eri, AD Leo and AU Mic are constructed using a coronal model.•Density and temperature profiles are derived for EGPs around active stars.•We derive an improved scaling method for the solar XUV spectrum to match the stellar.•EGPs around more active stars have stability limit at la...
