Scientific paper

Ions that are energized at quasi-parallel collisionless shocks and move back upstream generate low-frequency waves, largely on the fast/magnetosonic branch. At sufficient Mach number, the waves are convected back into the shock, lead to shock re-formation, and are mode-converted into downstream (magnetosheath) Alfvenic turbulence. Other waves are generated more locally at the interface of the incoming solar wind and the partially thermalized plasma. This paper reviews how recent simulation studies of collisionless shocks in conjunction with linear kinetic theory and proper wave diagnostics have aided in our understanding of the upstream and magnetosheath waves.
