Catastrophic Cooling in Superwinds. II. Exploring the Parameter Space

Supplementary Material

Figure 2. From top to bottom: the temperature and density profiles of the superwinds on a logarithmic scale with the wind terminal speeds of V [km s−1] (blue, red, and orange solid line). The ejected gas has metallicity Z/Z and mass-loss rate sc [M yr−1]. The SSC has radius Rsc = 1 pc and age t = 1 Myr. The physical conditions of the ambient medium are namb [cm−3] and Tamb based on the thermal profile derived by its CLOUDY photoionization model. The different regions separated by dotted lines: (a) freely expanding wind, (b) shocked-wind, (c) shell, and (d) ambient medium. The adiabatic temperature and density profile for each model are shown by dashed lines.

Figure 3. From top to bottom: the temperature and density profiles of the superwinds on a logarithmic scale with the wind terminal speeds of V [km s−1] (blue, red, and orange solid line). The ejected gas has metallicity Z/Z and mass-loss rate sc [M yr−1]. The SSC has radius Rsc = 1 pc and age t = 1 Myr. The physical conditions of the ambient medium are namb [cm−3] and Tamb based on the thermal profile derived by its CLOUDY photoionization model. The different regions separated by dotted lines: (a) freely expanding wind, (b) shocked-wind, (c) shell, and (d) ambient medium. The adiabatic temperature and density profile for each model are shown by dashed lines.

Figure 6. Top Panels: The hydrogen temperature profiles (TH [K]; left panels) along with the adiabatic prediction (red dashed line) in the CPI case, and the line emissivities (εi [erg cm−3 s−1]; right panels) of the superwind models on a logarithmic scale, from top to bottom, in the PI and CPI cases (described in §3), for wind terminal speed V [km s−1], metallicity Z/Z, mass-loss rate sc [M yr−1], cluster radius Rsc = 1 pc, and age t = 1 Myr, surrounded by the ambient medium with density namb [cm−3] and temperature Tamb determined by CLOUDY, producing a wind model in the mode denoted in the title (described in §4). Bottom Panels: The hydrogen density profiles (nH [cm−3]; left panels) along with the adiabatic prediction (red dashed lines), and the ionic fractions (Fi; right panels) on a logarithmic scale for the PI and CPI cases. The start and end of the hot bubble (region b), the end of the shell (region c), and the Strömgren radius are shown by dotted, dashed, dash-dotted, and solid lines (gray color), respectively.
