Annotation

The stationary analytic MHD model of the stationary axissymmetric current sheet in the solar wind is built. The current sheet is bounded by magnetic separatrixes that separate open and closed magnetic field lines. Powerful separatrix currents flow along the boundaries of the current sheet. The separatrix currents are stronger than current in the vicinity of the neutral line of the global current sheet. The model can be used to describe a heliospheric plasma sheet or a part of current system located near it.
