Scientific paper

In the present reconsideration of heliopause models in view of the possibility of plasma mixing between the solar wind and the ambient ionized component of the local interstellar medium (LISM), attention is given to a novel approach to the case of tangential magnetic fields at the heliopause in which a continuous change of the plasma properties within an extended boundary layer is given by a complete set of two-fluid plasma equations. By analogy with the case of planetary atmospheres, it is demonstrated that for LISM magnetic fields of the order of 10 to the -6th G or larger the field reconnection processes may also play an important role in heliopause plasma mixing. A series of observational implications for the expected plasma mixing at the heliopause is discussed.
