The Transition Zone in Balmer-Dominated Shocks [PDF]

, 2007
We examine the structure of the post-shock region in supernova remnants (SNRs). The ``shock transition zone'' is set up by charge transfer and ionization events between atoms and ions, and has a width $\sim 10^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ $n^{-1}_0$, where $n_0$ is ...
