From top to bottom: temperature and density profiles of representative MAIHEM models on a logarithmic scale with ambient density of n amb = 10 cm−3 and wind terminal speeds of V = 229 (blue), 457 (red), and 914 km s−1 (orange solid line). The metallicity is Z/Z = 0.5, and the mass-loss rate is ﹩{\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{sc}}=6.07\times {10}^{-4}﹩ M yr−1. The SSC has radius R sc = 1 pc and age t = 1 Myr. The different regions separated by dotted lines are labeled for V = 914 km s−1: (a) freely expanding wind, (b) shocked wind, (c) shell, and (d) ambient medium. The adiabatic temperature and density profile for each model are shown by dashed lines. The winds are in the CB (229 km s−1) and AB (457, 914 km s−1) modes, described in Section 4. The plots for the entire model grid (64 images) are available as an interactive figure in the online journal. The interactive figure includes menu options to browse the entire model grid by varying Z/Z , ﹩{\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{sc}}﹩, and n amb.

An interactive version of this figure is available in the online journal.
