Notes. Parameters for the LEC (low-excitation component) are not well constrained (see Sect. 3.4) and are omitted.

(a)

Uncertain parameters from the present data.

(b)

For f = 1.

(c)

Column density per unit of τ50 (G-A12).

(d)

pf/Rout = 1 is a fully spherical model, while pf/Rout < 1 simulates collimation in the direction of the observer.
