Scientific paper

The nature of the comet-solar wind interaction is studied by analyzing the detailed evolution of the plasma wave spectra of Comet Giacobini-Zinner across the interaction region. Electron heat fluxes and associated electron plasma waves, steepened low-frequency wave packets, and density fluctuations observed upstream of Giacobini-Zinner shocks are also found upstream of quasi-parallel bow shocks. Downstream, the pulsations in the cometary magnetic field magnitude, in addition to the large density spikes, are usually also found downstream of quasi-parallel bow shocks. Other similarities to interplanetary shocks and terrestrial bow shocks are described.
