Ratio over
for an isothermal (γ = 1) gas with different electron temperatures, indicated by cs, and the weak-shock approximation (Mach number = 1), according to Eq. (4) in M04 (dashed lines). Additionally given are the correction factors
over
as they follow from radiation-hydrodynamics sequences for nebulae around different central-star models (cf. Perinotto et al. 2004; SJS): 0.595 M⊙ (red dots), 0.605 M⊙ (diamonds), and 0.625 M⊙ (blue stars). Here Rrim is the rim-shock radius, Ṙrim its expansion speed, and
the line of sight Doppler rim expansion speed from the emission-line peak separation of [O iii], all taken or computed from the model nebulae and shown until the maximum stellar temperature. The downward “spikes” seen in the 0.605 M⊙ and 0.595 M⊙ sequence (e.g. at Vrim ≃ 13–14 km s-1 and 21–22 km s-1) are due to the sudden ionisation front (He i/He ii) passage through the rim/shell interface. Afterwards, the electron temperature, hence also R, is a bit higher.
