Scientific paper

The authors consider how the Alfvén fluctuation varies as it passes through a slow MHD shock, assuming the fluctuation to originate on the Sun and such slow shocks are present between 2 and 6 solar radii. The results are (1) low latitude region in the vicinity of the neutral sheet is where the fluctuation can propagate with no or little distortion; (2) high latitude region far from the neutral sheet is a region of small distortion only for low Alfvén-Mach numbers (about 0.3 or lower); (3) the observation of the Alfvén fluctuations in space is consistent with, and lends support to their originating in the Sun and the existence of slow shock around the Sun.
