Notes. In Jiménez-Serra et al. (2008)tsat is defined as the time when sputtering of dust grains “saturates” the silicon abundance (i.e., when the silicon abundance changes between two consecutive time steps by less than 10%). Symbols npre and npost stand for preshock and postshock densities, respectively.
