Caption: Figure 3.

Global shock structures at ﹩{\omega }_{\mathrm{pe}}t=500﹩ for ﹩{\sigma }_{e}=3\times {10}^{-3}﹩. See the caption of Figure 2 for details. Note that the color scale for Bz was chosen such that the precursor waves become clearly visible; the Weibel-generated magnetic fields in the shock-transition region are out of scale.
