\subsection{Uncertainties}  All input parameters discussed above can take a range of values. We argue that the starting point of the integration has to be within the inner disk and the exact value has only a small influence on the result. The wind velocity is closely related to the temperature of the observed plasma, the mass loss rate to the size of the region and the luminosity.  The biggest uncertainty isprobably  the value of the external pressure. As discussed above, different simulations in the literature predict similar pressure profiles, but the normalization of the pressure depends to a large degree on the disk magnetic field, which is only poorly constrained. In our calculation, we have scaled the pressure such that the post-shock densities are compatible with observations of the jet and we find a fiducial model that is compatible with the X-ray emission from the jet that we set out to explain. However, the magnitude of the pressure is a free parameter in our model and if it could be determined more accurately, that will confirm or rule-out the scenario we suggest in this article. jet.  \subsection{Size of stellar wind zone}
