Variability of Bow Shock Location at Mars [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999 Bow shock formation, in case the supersonic solar wind flow is hindered by the atmosphere of Mars, is investigated. The atoms newly ionized from the extensive neutral atmosphere of Mars are loaded to the solar wind.

THE RETURN OF THE BOW SHOCK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Recently it has been discussed whether a bow shock ahead of the heliospheric stagnation region does exist or not. This discussion was triggered by measurements indicating that the Alfvén speed and that of fast magnetosonic waves are higher than the flow speed of the local interstellar medium (LISM) relative to the heliosphere and resulted in the ...

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 Summary: Context. Shocks produced by outflows from young stars are often observed as bow-shaped structures in which the \(H_{2}\) line strength and morphology are characteristic of the physical and chemical environments and the velocity of the impact. Aims.

To see or not to see a bow shock [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 OB-stars have the highest luminosities and strongest stellar winds of all stars, which enables them to interact strongly with their surrounding ISM, thus creating bow shocks. These offer us an ideal opportunity to learn more about the ISM. They were first detected and analysed around runaway OB-stars using the IRAS allsky survey by van Buren et al ...

THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF THE INTERSTELLAR BOW SHOCK [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We report a new diagnostic between two different states of the local interstellar medium (LISM) near our solar system using a sensitivity study constrained by several distinct and complementary observations of the LISM, solar wind, and inner heliosphere.

Ion and electron heating at the Martian bow shock. Common for bow shocks or not? [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2014 Two typical bow shock crossings recorded by the Phobos-2 spacecraft in 1989 are considered in the present paper in order to demonstrate that the Martian bow shock is the shock of “common sense” in spite of peculiarities due to the pick-up ions of the Martian origin and their Larmour radius comparable to the scale size of the interaction region between ...

Foreshock cavitons and spontaneous hot flow anomalies: a statistical study with a global hybrid-Vlasov simulation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 The foreshock located upstream of Earth's bow shock hosts a wide variety of phenomena related to the reflection of solar wind particles from the bow shock and the subsequent formation of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves.
