Scientific paper

Scales of the electromagnetic field in the shock front have been estimated using CLUSTER data. The values of these scales has allowed us to identify different classes of collisionless shocks. Based on this identification we have shown that CLUSTER observed the terrestrial bow shock in the electrostatic sub-shock regime, which has been studied theoretically but has only been previously observed in laboratory plasmas. According to our knowledge it has never been identified reliably in space plasma. This regime exists in a narrow parameter range between subcritical shocks and supercritical reflection shocks.
