Interstellar scintillation (ISS) has been established as the cause of the random variations seen at centimetre wavelengths in many compact radio sources on timescales of a day or less. Observations of ISS can be used to probe structure both…

Ionospheric scintillation is the rapid change in the phase and/or the amplitude of a radio signal as it passes through small scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. These scintillations not only can reduce the accuracy of…

The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) was used to track the propagation of a TID containing embedded plasma structures which generated type 1 asymmetric quasi periodic scintillations (QPS: Maruyama, 1991) over a distance of >1200 km across…

Interstellar scattering is known to broaden distant objects spatially and temporally. The latter aspect is difficult to analyse, unless the signals carry their own time stamps. Pulsars are so kind to do us this favour. Typically the…
