Notes. nacc is the stream hydrogen number density; uacc is the stream velocity; ζ is the heavy element abundance; Tps is the post-shock temperature; τcool is the radiative cooling time; lps is the expected thickness of the post-shock zone; 
is the ram pressure of the accretion flow; hsink is the sinking of the post-shock zone in the chromosphere; βps = Pram / (B2 / 8π) is the plasma parameter in the post-shock zone, assuming a magnetic field B = 1 kG.
