A quarter century of collisionless shock researchThis review highlights conceptual issues that have both governed and reflected the direction of collisionless shock research in the past quarter century. These include MHD waves and their steepening, the MHD Rankine-Hugoniot relations, the super-critical shock transition, nonlinear oscillatory wave trains, ion sound anomalous resistivity and the resistive-dispersive transition for subcritical shocks, ion reflection and the structure of supercritical quasi-perpendicular shocks, the earth's foreshock, quasi-parallel shocks, and finally, shock acceleration processes.
