Session ID#: 13786

Session Description:
Fast magnetosonic (FM) shocks play an important role in the particle dynamics in the heliosphere. Observations suggest that both (interplanetary) coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and corotating interaction regions (CIRs) are the two major sources of FM-Shocks. As a consequence, ICMEs and CIRs are the preludes to solar and geomagnetic storms. However, there are questions about where FM-shocks are first produced by these two drivers and how they evolve in the inner heliosphere and beyond. This special session will focus on the characteristics/structure and consequences of heliospheric FM-shocks from cradle to grave. Observational, numerical simulation, theoretical works and/or their combination are all invited.
