Evidence for transient, local ion foreshocks caused by dayside magnetopause reconnection [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2016 We present a scenario resulting in time-dependent behaviour of the bow shock and transient, local ion reflection under unchanging solar wind conditions.

Martian bow shock: Phobos observations
Geophysical Research Letters, 1990 Data obtained with the MAGMA magnetometer on the subsolar passes of the Phobos spacecraft during its 3 elliptic orbits reveals a turbulent bow shock with a strong foot consistent with the reflection of solar wind protons. The bow shock lies at a subsolar distance of 1.47 ± .03 RM.

Observations of a new foreshock region upstream of a foreshock bubble's shock
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Earth's foreshock is a region within the solar wind upstream of Earth's bow shock filled with backstreaming solar wind particles reflected at the shock.

Interplanetary shock transmitted into the Earth's magnetosheath: Cluster and Double Star observations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2010 On day 7 May 2005, the plasma instruments on board Double Star TC1 and Cluster SC3 spacecraft register inside the magnetosheath, at 19:15:12 and 19:16:20 UT, respectively, a strong pressure pulse due to the impact of an interplanetary shock wave (IS ...

Bow shocks, bow waves, and dust waves – I. Strong coupling limit [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 Dust waves and bow waves result from the action of a star's radiation pressure on a stream of dusty plasma that flows past it. They are an alternative mechanism to hydrodynamic bow shocks for explaining the curved arcs of infrared emission seen around some stars.

Entropy Generation across Earth’s Collisionless Bow Shock
Physical Review Letters, 2012 Earth's bow shock is a collisionless shock wave but entropy has never been directly measured across it. The plasma experiments on Cluster and Double Star measure 3D plasma distributions upstream and downstream of the bow shock allowing calculation of Boltzmann's entropy function H and his famous H theorem, dH/dt≤0.

The Large Magellanic Cloud’s ∼30 kpc Bow Shock and Its Impact on the Circumgalactic Medium
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The interaction between the supersonic motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is expected to result in a bow shock that leads the LMC’s gaseous disk.

HD 189733 b: bow shock or no shock? [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Context. Hot Jupiters are surrounded by extended atmospheres of neutral hydrogen. Observations have provided evidence for in-transit hydrogen Hα absorption as well as variable pre-transit absorption signals. These have been interpreted in terms of a bow shock or an accretion stream that transits the host star before the planet. Aims.

Turbulence development behind the bow shock during disturbed and undisturbed solar wind
Solar-Terrestrial PhysicsMagnetosheath is a transition layer between the solar wind and the magnetosphere and may contribute to the geoeffectiveness of various large-scale interplanetary phenomena.
