Input parameters of the Paris-Durham low-velocity shock models.

Fixed parameters

Magnetic parameter (b) 1
Cosmic ray ionization rate ζ (s−1) 1 × 10−17
PAHs abundance 1 × 10−8
Initial extinction 0.1

Free parameters

Shock velocity (vs in km s−1) 5, 10, 20
Radiation field (G0 in Mathis unit) 0.1, 10, 102, 103
Pre-shock proton density (nH in cm−3) 102, 103, 104, 105

Notes. The UV interstellar radiation field is in Mathis units; 1 Mathis unit corresponds to a flux of 1.92 × 10−3 ergs cm−2 s−1 integrated between 912 and 2400 Å, and the ratio relative to 1 Habing is 1.02.
