Abstract: | Summary Magnetic field structures at great distances from the Sun have been analyzed qualitatively for a simple vacuum reconnection model of the interplanetary and interstellar magnetic field. In dependence on the mutual orientation of the main solar dipole s and the local interstellar fieldB
