Abstract

The ionization structure and line emission behind a steady radiative shock are calculated with a consistent treatment of the radiation field and the shock precursor. The results agree well with those of previous authors, except that the Hβ intensity is about twice that found in earlier calculations. Only relatively low velocity shocks are considered, since, as will be shown in later papers, high velocity shocks are unstable and unlikely to be steady.
