Abstract
A theoretical model of shock wave propagation in a self-gravitating radiative magneto-hydrodynamic medium has been studied. The effects of the magnetic field, radiation, and gravitation have been discussed separately. The results discussed depend upon the numerical variations of flow variables behind the shock.
