The heliotail structure is of interest for the analysis of the Lyman–alpha absorption in the direction of the nearby stars, the energetic neutrals (ENA) production, and possibly cosmi ray acceleration. Recent Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) observations revealed rather complex topology of the heliotail (McComas et al. 2013). We performed 3D, MHD-kinetic modeling of the solar wind...
