Scientific paper

Properties of the interaction between the solar wind and magnetized small bodies is investigated using 3-D global hybrid simulations (Travnicek et al., 2009, 2010). We investigate the ion foreshock, formation and properties of the back-streaming proton population and the corresponding wave activity. We also investigate properties of the quasi-parallel shock and the adjacent magnetosheath. The properties of the quasi-parallel magnetosheath are compared with the properties of the quasi-perpendicular one. References Travnicek, P. M., P. Hellinger, D. Schriver, D. Hercik, J.A.
