Abstract
The effects of the 11 year solar activity cycle on the heliospheric plasma interface in the presence of neutral H-atoms have been investigated. Our calculations show that nonstationary processes of such kind lead to1) a decrease of the mean interstellar plasma density in the interface;2) a sequence of shocks and rarefaction waves moving from the heliopause (HP)to the bow shock (BS); 3) an expansion of the region between the BS and HP;4) the TS excursion along the upwind direction is within 30%of the mean solar distance.
