Notes. 

(a)

Ionization timescale

(b)

electron temperature immediately behind the shock front

(c)

ionization timescale-averaged temperature

(d)

Norm=, where DA is the angular diameter distance to the source in cm and ne and nH are the post-shock electron and hydrogen densities in cm-3, respectively.

(e)

X-ray flux in the energy range 0.5 to 4.0 keV.
