Table 4: Model parameters derived to fit the inner knots NK 1 and SK 1 with a J-type shock. $n = n({\rm H}) + 2n({\rm H_2})$ is taken as the hydrogen nucleon density.
Parameter NK 1/SK 1
        Size,  L $_{\rm bow}$ 3.9 $\times $ 1015 cm
(1) H density,    n 9.0 $\times $ 104 cm-3
(2) Molecular fraction    f $^{\ast}$ 0.2
(3) Alfvén speed,   $v_{\rm A}$ 8 km s-1
        Magnetic field 1.3 mG
(4) Bow velocity,    $v_{\rm bow}$ 36 km s-1
(5) Angle to l.o.s. 90$^{\circ}$
(6) Shape parameter   s 1.5
(7) Field angle,   $\mu $ -54$^{\circ}$
$\ast$ The molecular fraction is given by $f=n({\rm H_2})/n$
so when f=0.5 the gas is fully molecular.
