Scientific paper

The interaction of the solar wind with comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 leading to the formation of the cometary magnetosphere and its interaction with the Jovian bow shock is simulated using a one dimensional hybrid code. The mass loading of the solar wind by the cometary ions leads to the formation of a bow shock behind which the plasma density is 2-3/cu cm and the electron temperature is 4 eV. The interaction of this system with the Jovian bow shock yields local enhancements of the magnetic field and the plasma density by factors of 4-5 and the electron temperature by 2-3.
