Description
The close collaboration between theorists, modellers and experimentalists has led to a new understanding of the physics of collisionless shocks which has been acquired over the last decade. The 59 papers contained in this volume discuss the processes occurring in planetary foreshocks, the physical processes at the shock, processes downstream from the bow shock in the magnetosheath, interplanetary shock processes, planetary shocks, the termination shock, and other shocks, such as supernova shocks, slow shocks, and intermediate shocks.
