Notes. Columns 1–3 list the case number along with the spectral types of the primary and secondary stars. Columns 4–6 show the binary separation and the distances of each star from the apex of the wind collision zone. Columns 7 and 8 present the pre-shock velocities, while Columns 9 and 10 give the corresponding post-shock temperatures of the winds for the primary and secondary, respectively. When no values are reported for the pre-shock velocity and post-shock temperature of one of the two stars, it means that the wind from one star directly strikes the surface of the other star, preventing the development of a wind-wind collision. Cases marked with an asterisk represent configurations that can reproduce the observed spectrum. Cases marked with a double asterisk denote physically plausible scenarios.
