The stationary phase point method for transitional scattering: diffractive radio scintillation for pulsar

Astrophysics 2014-10-13 v1

Abstract

The stationary phase point (SPP) method in one-dimensional case is introduced to treat the diffractive scintillation. From weak scattering, where the SPP number N=1, to strong scattering (N\gg1), via transitional scattering regime (N\sim2,3), we find that the modulation index of intensity experiences the monotonically increasing from 0 to 1 with the scattering strength, characterized by the ratio of Fresnel scale \rf\rf to diffractive scale \rdiff\rdiff.
