Notes. The geometry adopted is depicted in Fig. 6. The mass-loss rates given in the table represent the values at the inner radius of the disk (Rin). The value of the ionized mass is that in the modeled region, within ~150 au, adopting d = 1.7 kpc (~300 au, adopting d = 3 kpc). The departure coefficients bn used are from Storey & Hummer (1995).
