title: Shock wave formation in a dc glow discharge dusty plasma.
abstract: A jump of dust density propagating through the dusty plasma structure has been observed. To excite the disturbance an impulse of axial magnetic field to the dusty plasma in a dc glow discharge striation has been applied. This impulse resulted in the dynamical stretching of the dusty plasma structure. During the reconstruction of the structure a ramp-shaped perturbation of dust density appeared. The perturbation was steepening and formed into a dust-acoustic shock. The anomalously high shock compression is observed.
