Scientific paper

Electric fields are measured with the AVP-V experiment in the frequency range 8 Hz - 300 kHz. The field amplitude increases significantly, first at a distance of 2×105km, then at distances of 1.2 - 1.5×105km, and 5 - 7×104km from the nucleus. These phenomena have been observed both on VEGA-1 and VEGA-2. The electric field measurements are compared with data obtained from dust and plasma experiments; possible mechanisms responsible for the existence of these boundaries are discussed.
