Short summary
The magnetic profile of a laminar collisionless shock is described within two-fluid plasma theory. This description is valid only for the upstream part of the shock, before the ions begin to gyrate strongly. The emerging structure is fairly universal in a wide range of shock angles and mainly depends on the ratio of the dissipative to the dispersive length.
