Abstract
We solve the continuity equations across an ionization front. By inclu ding a plane parallel magnetic field we find significant differences i n the allowed velocities of the R- and D-type solutions between the ma gnetized and non-magnetized cases. These results may have implications for the study of ionization bounded diffuse sources where a moderate or strong magnetic field is expected.
