Scientific paper

This paper assembles ISEE 1, 2, and 3 observations of the interplanetary magnetic and electric fields, plasma, magnetohydrodynamic waves, electromagnetic and electrostatic waves, 1- to 6-keV protons and electrons, and >30-keV/Q ions for the interplanetary shock of November 12, 1978. The authors study the period from 1800 UT on November 11 to 2400 UT on November 12, which includes the passage over the three spacecraft of a large region of upstream interplanetary disturbance, an energetic ion acceleration front, the shock, at least one neutral sheet downstream, and, finally, the shock piston. The authors collect enough information to begin to examine, for the first time, a quasi-parallel shock from both the collisionless shock structure and particle acceleration points of view. For this shock it can be seen that the two approaches cannot be separated.
