Abstract

The interaction of a rotational (plane-polarized) discontinuity A of the solar wind with the Earth's bow shock Sb is studied in the parametric form. The velocity of displacement of the bow shock is estimated. An asymmetry of the impact on the flanks of Sb and an appreciable contribution of slow MHD waves to the process considered are revealed.
