Notes. T is the gas temperature, B0 is the mean magnetic field strength, nT = nn + ni is the total gas density, X is the gas ionization fraction, μi (μn) is the mean ion (neutral) mass; see N16, Jean et al. (2009), Snow & McCall (2006) and Neufeld et al. (2005). Values between brackets are the mean values adopted for numerical application. See the text for the justification of the selected values of the phase size R.
