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 et al. (1993),

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 ...

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).

Associations between Scattering Screens and Interstellar Medium Filaments

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Pulsar scintillation can be used to measure small-scale structure in the Galaxy, but little is known about the specific interstellar medium (ISM) features that cause scintillation.

Electric field representation of pulsar intensity spectra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Pulsar dynamic spectra exhibit high visibility fringes arising from interference between scattered radio waves. These fringes may be random or highly ordered patterns, depending on the nature of the scattering or refraction.

Scattering Delay Mitigation in High-accuracy Pulsar Timing: Cyclic Spectroscopy Techniques

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We simulate scattering delays from the interstellar medium to examine the effectiveness of three estimators in recovering these delays in pulsar timing data. Two of these estimators use the more traditional process of fitting autocorrelation functions to

Constraints on the IBEX Ribbon’s Origin from Its Evolution over a Solar Cycle

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In 2009, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) discovered a narrow “ribbon” of energetic neutral atom emissions across the sky with properties correlated with the solar wind latitudinal structure and the interstellar magnetic field draped around the ...
