Structure of the reference shock with Ms = 3, β = 20, and θBn = 75° (run A4) at time Ωcit = 30. Displayed are the y-averaged profiles of (a) the ion density normalized to the far upstream density N0i (black line), Bx, By and Bz magnetic field components normalized to their upstream values (blue, red, and green lines, respectively), (b) profiles of Tx, Ty, and Tz temperature components (red, blue, and black lines, respectively), and (c) the components parallel, T (red line), and perpendicular, T (cyan line), to the local magnetic field, normalized to T0, (d) the T/T temperature ratio, and (e) the mean magnetic field inclination angle with respect to the shock normal, θBn. The vertical dotted line in each panel marks the shock location. The x coordinate is normalized to the ion gyroradius rg.
