We discovered fine-scale structure within the scattering disk of PSR B0329+54 in observations with the RadioAstron ground-space radio interferometer. Here, we describe this phenomenon, characterize it with averages and correlation…

A new technique has been developed to remove the ionosphere's distorting effects from low frequency VLBI data. By fitting dispersive and non-dispersive components to the phases of multi-frequency data, the ionosphere can be effectively…

A synopsis of an analytical theory of scaling in developed turbulence is proposed on the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations. It is shown that corrections to the normal Kolmogorov 1941 scaling behavior of the $n$-th order velocity…

We use cyclic spectroscopy to directly measure the scintillation parameter $C_1$ for the millisecond pulsar B1937+21. This marks the first time this constant has been measured for any pulsar without assuming a pulse broadening function…

We present an analysis of the variations seen in the dispersion measures (DMs) of 20 millisecond pulsars observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project. We carry out a statistically rigorous structure function analysis for each…

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…

We report the B band optical observations of an old (17.5 Myr) radiopulsar PSR B0950+08 obtained with the Suprime-Cam at the Subaru telescope. We detected a faint object, B=27.07(16). Within our astrometrical accuracy it coincides with the…

We present the first measurement of pulse scattering close to the eclipse region of PSR B1957+20, which is in a compact binary system with a low-mass star. We measured pulse scattering time-scales up to 0.2 ms close to the eclipse and…
