Synthetic soft X-ray (0.3-2 KeV) emission maps of the simulated nebula around ζ Ophiuchi (unabsorbed) for the snapshots shown in Fig. 16. Top left: Simulation Z02 with MHD and at 128³. Top right: simulation Z02 with MHD and at 256³. Bottom left: simulation Z02 with HD and at 128³. Bottom right: Simulation Z02 with HD and at 256³. All images are projected at an angle of 45° to the x-axis. Coordinates are in parsecs relative to the position of the star (white cross) and the colour scale is from zero to maximum in units of erg cm^-2 s^-1 arcsec^-2.
