Simulations of a high Mach number shock with parameters typical of the earth's bow shock have been performed using a hybrid (particle ions, fluid electrons) code. The simulations reproduce the observed ion reflection and overshoots in the magnetic field and density. These features are shown to be closely associated with ion gyration. |
