Scientific paper

We discuss the expected properties of shocks in molecular clouds when the effect of shocks in molecular clouds when the effect of a magnetic field is included. The results suggest that shocks should have magnetic precursors, and may be C-shocks rather than J-shocks, but the observations are not obviously consistent with this prediction. The effect of these shock properties on cloud collisions triggering star formation is discussed.
