Top panels: the hydrogen temperature profiles (T H [K]; left panels) along with the adiabatic prediction (red dashed line) in the CPI case, and the line emissivities (ϵ i [erg cm−3 s−1]; right panels) of the superwind models on a logarithmic scale, from top to bottom, in the PI (pure photoionization) and CPI (photoionization + hydrodynamic collisional ionization) cases (Section 3), for wind terminal speed V = 457 km s−1, metallicity ﹩\hat{Z}\equiv Z/﹩ Z = 0.5, mass-loss rate ﹩{\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{sc}}=0.607\times {10}^{-2}﹩ M yr−1, cluster radius R sc = 1 pc, and age t = 1 Myr, surrounded by the ambient medium with density n amb = 100 cm−3 and temperature T amb determined by CLOUDY, producing a wind model in the CB mode (described in Section 4). Bottom panels: the hydrogen density profiles (n H [cm−3]; left panels) along with the adiabatic prediction (red dashed lines) and the ionic fractions (F i ; right panels) on a logarithmic scale for the PI and CPI cases. The start and end of the hot bubble (region (b)), the end of the shell (region (c)), and the Strömgren radius are shown by dotted, dashed, dashed–dotted, and solid lines (gray color), respectively. The plots for all the models (192 images) are available as an interactive figure in the online journal. The interactive figure includes menu options to browse all the models by varying V , Z/Z , ﹩{\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{sc}}﹩, and n amb.
