a In each modified model, only one parameter at a time is changed with respect to the reference model.

b Shell full opening angle at z = 800 au. We obtain α800 = 72° for the reference model.

c Full shell width at z = 800 au. We obtain W800 = 1.7 × 1016 cm for the reference model.

d Full shell width at z = 12700 au (top of the grid). We obtain W12700 = 8.0 × 1016cm for the reference model.

e Medium jet density case, yielding a one-sided mass-flux for the reference values of θj and Rj

f This model is equivalent to H_REF.
