The Inner and Outer Shock Layers of Bow Shocks in Cataclysmic Variables

Bow shocks around cataclysmic variables (CVs) have traditionally been identified with a single bright optical arc. This feature has been interpreted as the bow shock formed by the interaction between a sustained outflow and the interstellar medium (ISM). We show that this interpretation is incomplet...
