Shock phenomena in interplanetary space
Abstract
The performance of the solar wind near one astronomical unit is discussed. The solar wind is shown to act as a compressible, supersonic, magnetogasdynamic fluid. The creation of magnetogasdynamic shock waves by solar flares and other causes is analyzed. The observations of shock fronts and the flows behind these fronts are discussed and synoptic views of the observations are described. Theoretical concepts and models are summarized.
