Magnetoacoustic shock waves in a relativistic gas
Abstract
Fast and slow magnetoacoustic shocks are studied in the framework of relativistic magneto-fluid dynamics with the Synge equation of state. An approximate analytical solution is presented in a particular case. The general case is treated by numerical methods.
