Model A: upper panel: slope parameters n and w of the density (see Eq. (17)) in the equatorial (solid line) and polar (dashed line) direction corresponding to the panel A in Fig. 4, at the same time. The position of the outer shock wave is at r ≈ 11 R in the equatorial direction, while it is at r ≈ 16.5 R in the polar direction. There are preserved the initial density slope parameters of CSM, wsw = 2 in the polar direction and wcsd = 3.5 in the equatorial direction, above these radii. The inner envelope density slope parameter increases from n = 0 to n ≈ 9 in the polar direction. The numbers nmax and nmin above and below the graph denote the maximal and minimal slopes within the peaks of the density gradient discontinuities. Lower panel: slope parameters p of the temperature (cf. Eq. (5)) in the equatorial (solid line) and polar (dashed line) direction corresponding to the temperature graph (panel C) in Fig. 4 at the same time. The inner envelope (smooth) temperature slope parameter increases to p ≈ 2.7 at r ≈ 7.8 R in the equatorial direction while it increases to approximately the same value at r ≈ 11 R in the polar direction. The slope parameter p outside the outer shock is p = 0.875 in the equatorial and p = 0.5 in the polar direction. The numbers pmax above the graph denote the maximal temperature slopes within the peaks of the T gradient discontinuities.
