BS>Observations were made of the discharge between two electrodes placed across a supersonic stream of ionized gas. A magnetic field transverse to both the flow direction and the electrode axes was applied. Visual observations of the behavior of the discharge with and without magnetic fields are described, and qualitative explanations of the observed phenomena are proposed. (auth)
