✦ Synopsis

The Rankine-Hugoniot equations for hydromagnetic shocks are extended to include the energy and momentum flux due to Alfvtn waves incident on the shock. The shock relations are solved numerically for a wide variety of parameters typical of interplanetary conditions. The presence of the waves can cause appreciable changes in the structure of fast shocks of low Mach number.

## Abstract In this paper, we improve the previous work on the MHD Alfvén wave oscillation model for the neutron star (NS) kHz quasi‐periodic oscillations (QPOs), and compare the model with the updated twin kHz QPO data. For the 17 NS X‐ray sources with the simultaneously detected twin kHz QPO freq
