Plots illustrating the jump conditions across the shocks in the system at t = 1.6τ_A for different ion skin-depth values. Cuts through the shock wave front illustrate radial variations in B_x (dotted line), B_y (short dashes), gas pressure p (solid line) and temperature T (long dashes) for a radius (p and T are enhanced by a factor of 50 to aid visual comparison). The positions of the cuts are indicated in the third column by the diagonal black lines, seen together with background contours of ξ _⊥  and selected contours of A_z (in white).
