Abstract content
We present results of simulations of the evolution of fully MHD plane shocks including diffusive acceleration of cosmic rays and their backreaction on the shock flow. From the computed particle phase space distributions we compute expected emissions resulting from interactions between the cosmic rays, the thermal particle populations and relevant astrophysical photon fields. The results will be compared to observed properties of collisionless shocks in various atrophysical environments, such as supernova remnants and cosmic structure shocks.
