Fig. 3.

MHD (black dashed) and PIP (red neutral, blue plasma) solutions within the shock. The figures are in the shock frame (xs = x/t − vs, where vs is the propagation speed of the shock in the MHD solution). Panel a: perpendicular velocity in the shock frame vx − vs. Panel b: density. Green shows the total (ρn + ρp) density. Panel c: Alfvén Mach number using the plasma density (magenta) and total density (green). Panel d: Alfvén speed using the total density. Panel e: shock transitions. Panel f: pressure. Green line shows total pressure (Pn + Pp).
