There is astrophysical evidence for the existence of shocks propagating in regions of variable density. We have therefore the choice of discussing first the physics of shocks in a variable density atmosphere, or the astrophysical phenomena. Following Kaplan's preliminary report, we shall describe first the astrophysical facts, for the reader to be able to understand the connection of the physics with the astrophysics.
