Scientific paper

The properties of multiple-ion shocks and related waves are studied by both multifluid theories and hybrid code simulations. Under the assumption of predominant electron heating, generalized Rankine-Hugoniot relations are derived which indicate that the velocity jump of the heavier ions is much less than that of the protons. The wave length of the associated multiple-ion waves in dependence of the basic plasma parameters follows from simple dispersion relations. The perspectives from which to study the fine-structure of the Earth bow shock by the Cluster/Regatta instruments are discussed.
