Voyager 2 crossed the inbound or upstream Neptunian bow shock at 1430 spacecraft event time on August 24 in 1989 (Belcher et al., 1989). The plasma and magnetic field measurements allow us to study the solar wind interaction with the outermost gas giant.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005
The study of pulsar bow‐shocks is one of the most promising ways towards the understanding of the interactions between neutron stars relativistic winds and their environment. These objects are best resolved as Hα nebulae but velocity‐driven features are seen also in the radio and X‐ray bands and represent interesting targets for future gamma‐rays ...

Our present knowledge of the properties of the various planetary bow shocks is briefly reviewed. We do not follow the astronomical ordering of the planets. We rather distinguish between magnetised and unmagnetised planets which groups Mercury and Earth with the outer giant planets of the solar system, Mars and Moon in a separate group lacking magnetic ...

Heliospheric shocks (excluding planetary bow shocks)
Reviews of Geophysics, 1987Even though it took place less than halfway through the last four year period, the AGU Chapman Conference in Napa Valley, California, during February, 1984, highlighted in many ways current U. S. contributions to the study of heliospheric shocks. Considerable recent progress in the theoretical understanding of these discontinuities has been summarized ...

Structure of the Earth's bow shock
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1972Numerical simulations have provided detailed information of the microscopic processes that occur in a high Mach number oblique shock wave such as the bow shock. The gross feature of the ion dissipation is a strong interaction of the reflected ions with the whistler precursor, which can be explained by a nonlinear ion-ion counterstreaming instability ...

Overshoots in planetary bow shocks
Nature, 1982The parametric variation with solar wind conditions in the overshoot in magnetic field strength observed in planetary bow shocks and believed to be associated with the ion reflection process is examined based on both terrestrial and planetary bow shock data.

Planetary bow shocks provide insight into both the behavior of collisionless shocks and the nature of the planetary obstacle responsible for creating those bow shocks. This review paper first presents a survey of the microstructure of planetary bow shocks using data obtained at Mercury, Venus, the earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Abstract It is clear that the primary energy source for magnetospheric processes is the solar wind, but the process of energy transfer from the solar wind into the magnetosphere, or rather, to convecting magnetospheric plasma, appears to be rather complicated.

20th Thermophysics Conference, 1985
Hypersonic bow-shock location and geometry are of central importance to the aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics of aeroassisted orbital transfer vehicles (AOTVs), but they are difficult to predict for a given vehicle configuration. This paper reports experimental measurements of shock standoff distance for the 70 deg cone AOTV configuration in shock ...
