Abstract
Properties of solutions for parallel magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shock waves in collisionless plasma with heat fluxes obtained in the 8-moment MHD approximation are discussed. The domain of upstream shock-wave plasma parameters in which there are solutions that preserve physical meaning of the downstream plasma parameters is determined. New results have also been obtained for the heat fluxes behind the front of parallel shock waves in collisionless plasma.
