Caption: Figure 4.

Top panel: neutral gas temperature (T₃ = T/[10³ K]), velocities for the neutral and ionized fluids (v_n6,i6 = v_n,i/[10⁶ cm s⁻¹]), and H₂ OPR for the simple C-type shock model described in the text. Bottom panels: predicted H₂ line profiles for the simple model described in the text, overlaid on the observed spectra for positions P1 and P2.
