Ion Acceleration at the Earth’s Bow Shock
Space Science Reviews, 2012The Earth’s bow shock is the most studied example of a collisionless shock in the solar system. It is also widely used to model or predict the behaviour at other astrophysical shock systems. Spacecraft observations, theoretical modelling and numerical simulations have led to a detailed understanding of the bow shock structure, the spatial organization ...

Interaction of interplanetary shocks with the bow shock
Planetary and Space Science, 2007Abstract Fast forward interplanetary (IP) shocks have been identified as a source of large geomagnetic disturbances. However, the shocks can evolve in the solar wind, they are modified by interaction with the bow shock and during their propagation through the magnetosheath.

On the Earth’s Bow Shock Motion and Speed
Space Science Reviews, 1975The Earth’s bow shock has been shown to have often a speed rather high (50–150 km s−1) on the basis of different methods of investigation (Formisano et al.,1971; Greenstadt et al., 1972; Formisano et al., 1973; Guha et al.,1972). The causes of the shock motion and speed are not well understood, the resonant oscillator proposed by Smit (1968) being not ...

Bow Shock Formation in a Complex Plasma
Physical Review Letters, 2012A bow shock is observed in a two-dimensional supersonic flow of charged microparticles in a complex plasma. A thin conducting needle is used to make a potential barrier as an obstacle for the particle flow in the complex plasma. The flow is generated and the flow velocity is controlled by changing a tilt angle of the device under the gravitational ...

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 ...

The Heliosphere’s Interstellar Interaction: No Bow Shock
Science, 2012No Shock Ahead of the Sun The boundary of the heliosphere is the region where the solar wind interacts with interstellar space, and it marks the edge of our solar system. Based on observations from NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, McComas et al. (p.

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 ...

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.
