Notes. The timing of the observed brightening (start and peak time) as derived from the lightcurves in Fig. 2 (see Sect. 4.1). The (cooling) time lag following from this in observations and the time lag in the model are discussed in detail in item (4) in Sect. 5.2. The four right columns, i.e., model density n, Kernel Ki, and the modeled and observed peak intensities are discussed in detail in Sect. 5.3.
