Interstellar scattering as a cosmological probe

open access: yes2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, 2011
Since the discovery that the flux densities of very compact astrophysical sources are modulated by scattering in the inhomogeneous, ionized interstellar medium (ISM) of our own Galaxy through a phenomenon known as Interstellar Scintillation (ISS), these ...

Collisional excitation of interstellar PN by H2: New interaction potential and scattering calculations

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics, 2021
Rotational excitation of interstellar PN molecules induced by collisions with H2 is investigated. We present the first ab initio four-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for the PN-H2 van der Waals system.

Interstellar Scintillation and Scattering of Micro-arc-second AGN

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
The discovery of the first quasar 3C 273 led directly to the discovery of their variability at optical and radio wavelengths. We review the radio variability observations, in particular the variability found at frequencies below 1 GHz, as well as those ...

Interstellar scattering of the Vela pulsar

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1974
The frequency dependence of the parameters of interstellar scattering between 837 and 8085 MHz for the Vela pulsar are consistent with thin-screen models of strong scattering. The magnitudes of the parameters indicate an anomalous turbulence along the path when they are compared with results for other pulsars with comparable column densities of free ...

On the Enhanced Interstellar Scattering toward B1849+005 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2004
This paper reports new Very Large Array (VLA) and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) observations of the extragalactic source B1849+005 (Galactic coordinates ℓ = 33.°44, b = +0.°21) at frequencies between 0.33 and 15 GHz and the reanalysis of archival VLA ...

IMPROVING PULSAR DISTANCES BY MODELLING INTERSTELLAR SCATTERING [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998
We present here a method to study the distribution of electron density fluctuations in pulsar directions as well as to estimate pulsar distances. The method, based on a simple two-component model of the scattering medium discussed by Gwinn, Bartel &38 ...

Interstellar X-Ray Absorption and Scattering

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Accurate estimates of the absorption of X-rays by interstellar gas and dust are of crucial importance for the analysis and interpretation of almost all astronomical soft X-ray observations.

Some Scattering Problems of Interstellar Grains [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1973
Some general effects of size, shape, and material on the scattering properties of small particles are considered with a view to determining their relative importance to interstellar dust interpreatations.

Pulsar Scattering as a Probe for Structures in the Interstellar Medium

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Due to the inhomogeneity of electron number density, radio waves emitted by pulsars undergo scattering as they pass through the interstellar medium (ISM).
