Left: Cooling timescales. Inverse-Compton emission on cluster photon field (IC Wd1) is evaluated at the wind termination shock (20 pc). The sum only includes components that are relevant at the location of J1654–467. Right: Transport timescales. The coloured solid lines indicate the transport for a range of diffusion coefficients, D, and are labelled with \({\log }_{10}\left(D/{{{{\rm{cm}}}}}^{2}\,{{{{\rm{s}}}}}^{-1}\right)\). The orange dashed line indicates advection in a spherically symmetric superbubble (SB). The upper abscissa shows the energy of electrons that cool within the time given on the lower abscissa. For further details see the text.
