Influence of the foreshock of the Earth-s bow shock on the interplanetary shock propagation during their mutual interaction
2009
Abstract
We present a short study of the propagation of one interplanetary (IP) shock observed by five spacecraft located in the solar wind far upstream of the Earth-s bow shock as well as in its close vicinity. We have found a significant evolution of IP shock parameters during its motion along the bow shock.
This modification is discussed and attributed to the presence of strong fluxes of energetic particles in the foreshock
