Fig. 2

Number of wavelengths after which the switch to the exponential damping profile occurs (1/κ) as a function of the density contrast ratio ρ0/ρe. For ρ0/ρe < 2 the Gaussian damping profile is expected to dominate the observed signal. For ρ0/ρe > 3 only the first 1–2 wavelengths exhibit the Gaussian damping behaviour.
