Relativistic electron distribution (top row) and emissivity (bottom row) computed from the hydrodynamic simulation at orbital phase, φ = 0.8, adopting ζrel = 0.15, ζB = 5 × 10-5, and p = 1.6 in the model calculation. The left and right columns correspond to points “A” and “B” in Fig. 9. Comparison of the plots highlights the spatial dependence of the electron distribution and resulting emissivity. Coulomb cooling has a relatively minor effect on the emissivity, hence the curve is coincident with that for intrinsic emission. Inverse Compton is the dominant cooling mechanism at the frequencies of the observations being used to constrain the model.
