Scientific paper
A study is conducted for the case of a tangential discontinuity (TD) that convects into a shock at some arbitrary angle, in order to clarify events observed in proximity to the earth's bow shock. Very different behavior is noted to result depending on the sense of ion gyration relative to the TD. The fact that particles can be injected into the TD's plane, so that they travel upstream close to the TD, implies that active current sheet (ACS) events thus far assumed to be generated by the solar wind's interaction with a large-density reflected component are actually detached from the bow shock. In other geometries, ions stay close to the shock after their TD interaction, implying that ACS events are modifications of the shock.
