Acceleration of an interplanetary shock through the magnetosheath: a global hybrid simulation

According to most observations and simulations, interplanetary shocks slow down when they propagate through the magnetosheath. In this article, we present results from a self-consistent global hybrid PIC simulation of an interplanetary shock which, by contrast, accelerates as it propagates through t...
