Figure 3: The typical interferogram of shocks formation and evolution.
From: Formation and evolution of a pair of collisionless shocks in counter-streaming flows
(a) and (b) are the raw data (below) and electron density distribution maps (up) obtained by the Abel inversion, taken at 6 ns and 10 ns. The color bar stands for the value of electrons density. (c) and (d) are the corresponding electron density profile plotted along the flow direction. The pink arrows and blue arrows represent the shocks position and the propagation directions, respectively.
