Abstract
Using the C.C.W. method, propagation of diverging cylindrical shock wave in a self-gravitating and rotating gas under the influence of a constant axial magnetic field has been studied for two cases of weak and strong shocks. Medium ahead of the shock is supposed to be homogeneous. Analytical relations for shock velocity and shock strength along with the expressions for the pressure, density, and particle velocity just behind the shock wave have been also obtained for both cases.
