In our previous paper (Popov et al. (2016)) we investigated properties of the ionized interstellar medium in the direction of three distant pulsars: B1641-45, B1749-28, and B1933+16. We found that uniformly distributed scattering material…

Pulsar scintillation can be used to measure small scale structure in the Galaxy, but little is known about the specific interstellar medium features that cause scintillation. We searched for interstellar medium counterparts to all…

We have invented a novel technique to measure the radio image of a pulsar scattered by the interstellar plasma with 0.1 mas resolution. We extend the "secondary spectrum" analysis of parabolic arcs by Stinebring et al. (2001) to very long…

We use VLBA+VLA observations to measure the sizes of the scatter-broadened images of 6 of the most heavily scattered known pulsars: 3 within the Galactic Centre (GC) and 3 elsewhere in the inner Galactic plane. By combining the measured…

RadioAstron space-ground VLBI observations of the pulsar B0950+08, conducted with the 10-m space radio telescope in conjunction with the Arecibo 300-m telescope and Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at a frequency of 324 MHz, were…

We have detected a strong deflection of radio waves from the pulsar PSR B0834+06 in scintillation observations. Interference between the undeflected pulsar image and deflected subimages allows single dish interferometry of the interstellar…

Pulsar scintillation allows a glimpse into small-scale plasma structures in the interstellar medium, if we can infer their properties from the scintillation pattern. With Very Long Baseline Interferometry and working in delay-delay rate…

We carried out observations of pulsar PSR B1919+21 at 324 MHz to study the distribution of interstellar plasma in the direction of this pulsar. We used the RadioAstron (RA) space radiotelescope together with two ground telescopes:…

Interstellar scintillations of pulsars PSR B0809+74 and B0950+08 have been studied using observations at low frequencies (41, 62, 89, and 112 MHz). Characteristic temporal and frequency scales of diffractive scintillations at these…

We have resolved the scatter-broadened image of PSR B0329+54 and detected substructure within it. These results are not influenced by any extended structure of a source but instead are directly attributed to the interstellar medium. We…

Radio pulsars, as highly coherent point sources, serve as powerful probes of the ionized interstellar medium (IISM). Pulsar scintillation observations have revealed inverted arclets on the secondary spectrum, indicating quasilinearly…

Interstellar scattering causes pulsar profiles to grow asymmetrically, thus affecting the pulsar timing residuals, and is strongest at lower frequencies. Different Interstellar medium models predict different frequency ($\nu$) and…

This paper considers scattering screens that have arbitrary spatial variations of scattering strength transverse to the line of sight, including screens that are spatially well confined, such as disks and filaments. We calculate the…

Temporal scatter-broadening can seriously affect our ability to find pulsars orbiting the central mass in our Galaxy. Many of these invaluable probes of geometry around the black hole are expected, but none have been found in close orbits…

Pulsar dispersion measures (DMs) have been used to model the electron density of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the Galactic disk as a plane-parallel medium, despite significant scatter in the DM-distance distribution and strong evidence…

Due to the inhomogeneity of electron number density, radio waves emitted by pulsars undergo scattering as they pass through the interstellar medium (ISM). However, a connection between large-scale pulsar scattering data and the structure of…

We have made high-resolution, high-sensitivity dynamic spectra of a sample of strong pulsars at 430 MHz with the Arecibo radiotelescope. For 4 pulsars we find faint but sharply delineated features in the secondary spectra. These are…

Weak interstellar scintillations of pulsar B0809+74 were observed at two epochs using a 30m EISCAT antenna at 933 MHz. These have been used to constrain the spectrum, the distribution and the transverse velocity of the scattering plasma…

Observations of pulsar scintillation are among the few astrophysical probes of very small-scale ($\lesssim$ au) phenomena in the interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, characterization of scintillation arcs, including their curvature and…
