Abstract
The structure of perpendicular shocks in a medium containing cosmic rays is discussed, and an equation for the compression ratio of the shock is derived. It is shown that the cosmic rays lessen the compressibility. The change in radio emission is discussed, and the work is extended to nearly perpendicular shocks.Keywords
