(a) Electron temperatures derived from Hα and [N II] line FWHMs. The median temperature is ∼8.7 × 103 K (brown dashed line), and the orange dashed curve shows a Gaussian fit with σ ≃ 6.47 × 103 K, indicating a broad distribution. (b) Electron density (ne) in Silk Nebula derived from [S II] line ratios. The median density is ∼64 cm−3 (brown dashed line).
