Electron–Ion Temperature Ratio in Astrophysical Shocks

Electron–Ion Temperature Ratio in Astrophysical Shocks

Collisionless shock waves in supernova remnants and the solar wind heat electrons less effectively than they heat ions, as is predicted by kinetic simulations. However, the values of T _e / T _p inferred from the H α profiles of supernova remnant shocks behave differently as a function of Mach numbe...
