Abstract Views of the front side heliopause and different areas, where magnetic field reconnection takes place, are provided for various assumed orientations of the magnetic field of the local interstellar medium. Within these reconnection patches the lines of constant angle between the magnetic field of the unperturbed solar wind (standard Parker's spiral field) and the (uniform) interstellar field, both projected onto the heliopause surface, are computed. Here the shape of the heliopause is described by a simple analytic formula. Explanations of low frequency (2–3 kHz) interplanetary radio emissions detected by Voyager mission and implications of possible observations of the heliospheric boundary are discussed.
