Scientific paper

A hybrid code is used to investigate the kinetic structure and stability of subfast intermediate shocks (IS) formed dynamically by the interaction between a flowing plasma and a stationary piston. Results of the kinetic simulation of noncoplanar ISs are compared with predictions of the MHD theory. The relevance of the results of the study to observations of the magnetopause is discussed.
