Caption: Figure 3.
Ratios of the proton heating rate to the total (proton + electron) heating rate. The standard model with wind speed u = 700 km s −1 is shown in both panels (thick red line). (a) Variation of the wind speed between 600 and 800 km s −1 in 50 km s −1 increments (see labels). (b) Models computed with T small (dotted line) and T large (dashed line) for the SWOOPS proton temperatures, and with Equation (7) for q ∥, e instead of the empirical fit (dot-dashed line).
