Notes:
Electron and ion dynamics are investigated through particle simulation of a supercritical oblique collisionless shock. As θ deviates from 90°, ions are accelerated and trapped in the electrostatic wells and later become detrapped; this results in strong ion heating perpendicular to B0. Below a critical angle θte electrons are strongly energized along B0, and heated. A large parallel electron current builds up and induces new transverse electromagnetic components in the ramp of the shock. For weaker angles, ion heating vanishes below a second critical angle θti.
