The Physics of Collisionless Shocks: 4th Annual IGPP International Astrophysics Conference

AIP Conference Proceedings: Astronomy and Astrophysics #781

by Gang Li (Editor)

The 4th IGPP Astrophysics Conference proceedings discuss various aspects of collisionless shock physics in solar system plasmas, the microstructure of collisionless shocks, wave activities at and near shocks, particle acceleration at collisionless shocks and collisionless shocks in the outer heliosphere. This volume can serve both as a summary of the current understanding of collisionless shock physics and as a starting point for future research, especially for young scientists in this field.
