Scientific paper

The Coulomb equilibration time scale among various particle species behind a fast collisionless shock can be much larger than the dynamical time scale in a supernova remnant or CME. Ultraviolet and optical emission line profiles can be used to measure proton, electron and ion temperatures. Particles are fairly close to thermal equilibrium behind a relatively slow (350 km/s) shock, but very far from equilibrium in faster (2000-3000 km/s) shocks.
