Scientific paper

The method of Chester (1954), Chisnell (1955), and Whitham (1958) is used to investigate the propagation of diverging cylindrical hydromagnetic shock waves through a self-gravitating gas of infinite electrical conductivity which has variable initial density and azimuthal magnetic-field distributions. Calculations are performed for the cases of weak and strong shocks, and analytical relations are developed for shock velocity and strength. Expressions for the pressure, density, and particle velocity immediately behind the shock have also been obtained for the two cases considered.
