Scientific paper
The authors have compared the results of calculations of magnetohydrodynamic shocks in which the rotational level populations of H2 were (1) in a stationary state and (2) in "statistical equilibrium" (the static limit). In the models studied, the gas consisted mainly of molecular hydrogen, which dominates the radiative cooling of the shocked region. This comparison shows that significant deviations from the static limit are to be anticipated only in J-type shocks, in which the neutral gas passes through a discontinuity.
