Physics of Collisionless Shocks Space Plasma Shock Waves
The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space and in Astrophysics. It consists of two parts. Part I develops the complete theory of shocks in d

Sketch of the upwind heliosphere in the magnetised interstellar wind blowing against the solar wind, creating a Bow Shock and Ion Wall in the LISM, as well as the Heliopause. SPS is the solar planetary system showing the two orbits of the Voyager 1 (V1) and Voyager 2 (V2) spacecraft. V1 is shown to cross the Termination Shock (TS) at larger northern distance than V2 in the south. The Termination Shock is the red ring that confines the solar wind. The (exaggerated) asymmetry of the TS and location of SPS in the solar wind is caused by the interstellar magnetic field. O
