The intra-hour variable quasar J1819+3845: 13-year evolution, jet polarization structure, and interstellar scattering screen properties [PDF]
, 2014 We examine the long-term evolution of the intra-hour variable quasar, J1819+3845, whose variations have been attributed to interstellar scintillation by extremely local turbulent plasma, located only 1-3 pc from Earth.

Heating of the low-latitude solar wind by dissipation of turbulent magnetic fluctuations [PDF]
, 2001 We test a theory presented previously to account for the turbulent transport of magnetic fluctuation energy in the solar wind and the related dissipation and heating of the ambient ion population. This theory accounts for the injection of magnetic energy

TIMING AND INTERSTELLAR SCATTERING OF 35 DISTANT PULSARS DISCOVERED IN THE PALFA SURVEY [PDF]
, 2013 We have made extensive observations of 35 distant slow (non-recycled) pulsars discovered in the ongoing Arecibo PALFA pulsar survey. Timing observations of these pulsars over several years at Arecibo Observatory and Jodrell Bank Observatory have yielded ...

Electronic spectroscopy of cold cations in a 22-pole trap by indirect methods [PDF]
, 2013 The confining capabilities of a 22-pole ion trap have been employed to mea- sure electronic spectra of cations of astrophysical relevance. The ion trap sits on the head of a closed cycle cryostat, enabling collisional cooling of the confined ions with

A new analytical scattering phase function for interstellar dust [PDF]
, 2022 Context. Properly modelling scattering by interstellar dust grains requires a good characterisation of the scattering phase function. The Henyey-Greenstein phase function has become the standard for describing anisotropic scattering by dust grains, but ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The cosmic dust particles found in space are mainly porous aggregates of smaller grains. Theoretically, these aggregates are replicated using fractal geometry, assuming a cluster of spheres.

Exponential profiles from stellar scattering off of interstellar clumps and holes in dwarf galaxy discs [PDF]
, 2017 Holes and clumps in the interstellar gas of dwarf irregular galaxies are gravitational scattering centers that heat field stars and change their radial and vertical distributions.

Diagnostics from Polarization of Scattered Optical Light from Galactic Infrared Cirrus
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We propose polarization of scattered optical light from intermediate Galactic latitude infrared cirrus as a new diagnostic to constrain models of interstellar dust and the anisotropic interstellar radiation field (aISRF).

Probing the interstellar dust towards the Galactic Centre: dust-scattering halo around AX J1745.6−2901 [PDF]
, 2017 AX J1745.6-2901 is an X-ray binary located at only 1.45 arcmin from Sgr A*, showcasing a strong X-ray dust scattering halo. We combine Chandra and XMM-Newton observations to study the halo around this X-ray binary.

Characterizing & Mitigating Interstellar Scattering in Radio Observations of Pulsars [PDF]
, 2023 Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit concentrated beams of radiation from their magnetic poles. Measuring the arrival of these pulses via pulsar timing is a powerful tool in efforts to detect low frequency gravitational waves (GWs ...
