Scientific paper

The results of the solar wind interaction with the local interstellar medium (LISM) theory are considered. The model is characterized by the presence of two shocks (bow shock and heliospheric shock) and the contact discontinuity. The theoretical results are compared with the Voyager data. It is shown that the increase of electron density in LISM (as compared with that obtained on the pulsar observations) gives rise to the coincidence of the model with the measurements. These conclusions do not contradict those of the Copernicus observations and the measurements of the scattered solar Lyman-alpha radiation.
