Allowed parameter space in electron number density (n e ) and dimensionless electron temperature (Θ e ) for the one-zone model described in Section 3.1. The panels correspond to different assumed values of plasma β = P gas/P mag. We require that the total flux density 2 Jy < F ν < 3 Jy (gray region) and optical depth τ < 1 (green region). Corresponding magnetic field strengths are shown as red dotted lines. In blue, we plot the Faraday thick region, ﹩{\tau }_{{\rho }_{V}}\gt 2\pi ﹩. Unlike for M87*, we find that the model is Faraday thin wherever there is intersection between our two constraints.
