Number density and thickness of the two shock layers in the two-shock approximation model as a function of the distance from Sgr A* (in Schwarzschild radii). Left: number density (expressed in cm−3) of the shock driven into the ambient medium (red lines) and of the shocked stellar wind (blue lines) calculated for three specific values of the ambient density slope: γ = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5. Right: thickness (expressed in cm) of the stellar-wind (blue lines) and ambient shock layers (red lines) calculated for the three different density slopes as in the left panel.
