The strong interaction of cometary plasma with the interplanetary medium results the disconnection events and other features observed in plasma tail and the coma of comets. The understanding of these features provide direct probe of the heliospheric magnetic field. However the interpretation of these events is not without ambiguity, as revealed in the recent work with comet Halley. In this paper a review of the “Post-Halley era” developments of the cometary plasma physics is presented.
