Microarcsecond Radio Imaging using Earth Orbit Synthesis [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001 The observed interstellar scintillation pattern of an intra-day variable radio source is influenced by its source structure. If the velocity of the interstellar medium responsible for the scattering is comparable to the earth's, the vector sum of these ...

Cherenkov and Scintillation Light Separation in Organic Liquid Scintillators [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2017 The CHErenkov / Scintillation Separation experiment (CHESS) has been used to demonstrate the separation of Cherenkov and scintillation light in both linear alkylbenzene (LAB) and LAB with 2g/L of PPO as a fluor (LAB/PPO).

Inorganic scintillating materials and scintillation detectors
Proceedings of the Japan Academy Series B: Physical and Biological Sciences, 2018 Scintillation materials and detectors that are used in many applications, such as medical imaging, security, oil-logging, high energy physics and non-destructive inspection, are reviewed. The fundamental physics understood today is explained, and common scintillators and scintillation detectors are introduced.

The Scintillation of Stars [PDF]
Nature, 1950 IN a recent communication in Nature1, Dr. A. H. R. Goldie has suggested that the scintillation of stars may be associated with waves at an interface between two currents of air which have a difference of temperature of the order of 5–7° F. “Such waves,” he writes, “should not uncommonly have an amplitude of the order of up to 500–1,000 ft.

Comparison of the scintillation noise above different observatories measured with MASS instruments [PDF]
, 2012 Scintillation noise is a major limitation of ground base photometric precision. An extensive dataset of stellar scintillation collected at 11 astronomical sites world-wide with MASS instruments was used to estimate the scintillation noise of large ...

Rapid interstellar scintillation of PKS B1257-326: two-station pattern time delays and constraints on scattering and microarcsecond source structure [PDF]
, 2006 We report measurements of time delays of up to 8 minutes in the centimeter wavelength variability patterns of the intra-hour scintillating quasar PKS 1257-326 as observed between the VLA and the ATCA on three separate epochs.

Remote sensing of tropospheric turbulence using GPS radio occultation [PDF]
, 2016 Radio occultation (RO) measurements are sensitive to the small-scale irregularities in the atmosphere. In this study, we present a new technique to estimate tropospheric turbulence strength (namely, scintillation index) by analyzing RO amplitude ...
