Low-frequency observations of pulsars provide a powerful means for probing the microstructure in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM). Here we report on high-resolution dynamic spectral analysis of our observations of the timing-array…
The 4.8 GHz lightcurves of the scintillating intra-day variable quasar J1819+3845 during 2004-5 exhibit sharp structure, down to a time scale of 15 minutes, that was absent from lightcurves taken prior to this period and from the 2006…
Density fluctuations in the ionised interstellar medium have a profound effect on radio pulsar observations, through angular scattering, intensity scintillations, and small changes in time delays from dispersion. Here we show that it is…
We have searched for discrete refractive scattering events (including effects due to possible non-multiple diffractive scattering) at meter wavelengths in the direction of two close by pulsars B0950+08 and B1929+10, where we looked for…
Optical depth variations in the Galactic neutral interstellar medium (ISM) with spatial scales from hundreds to thousands of astronomical units have been observed through HI absorption against pulsars and continuum sources, while extremely…
In this paper, we investigate inertially forced isothermal quantum turbulence (coflow of normal and superfluid components) at temperatures of 1.6 and 2 K. The experiments are carried out in a large optical cryostat, where quasi-isotropic,…
The aim of our work was to study the spatial structure of inhomogeneities of interstellar plasma in the directions of five pulsars: B0823+26, B0834+06, B1237+25, B1929+10, and B2016+28. Observations of these pulsars were made with…

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…
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are known as highly stable celestial clocks. Nevertheless, recent studies have revealed the unstable nature of their integrated pulse profiles, which may limit the achievable pulsar timing precision. In this…

Timing analysis of PSR J1705$-$1906 using data from Nanshan 25-m and Parkes 64-m radio telescopes, which span over fourteen years, shows that the pulsar exhibits significant proper motion, and rotation instability. We updated the astrometry…
In our previous paper, we developed a technique for identifying pulsar candidates in interferometric radio images using their distinctive scintillation signatures. Building on this technique, the present study simulates a pulsar population…
Recent work by Rankin & Deshpande strongly suggests that there exist strong ``micro-storms'' rotating around the magnetic axis of the 1.1s pulsar PSR 0943+10. Such a feature hints that most probably the large-voltage vacuum gap proposed by…
We analyzed a deep {\it XMM-Newton} observation of the radio-quiet $\gamma$-ray PSR J2055+2539. The spectrum of the X-ray counterpart is non-thermal, with a photon index of $\Gamma$=2.36$\pm$0.14 (1$\sigma$ confidence). We detected X-ray…

Refractive interstellar scintillation (RISS) is thought to be the cause behind a variety of phenomena seen at radio wavelengths in pulsars and compact radio sources. Though there is substantial observational data to support several…
Radio pulsars scintillate because their emission travels through the ionized interstellar medium via multiple paths, which interfere with each other. It has long been realized that the scattering screens responsible for the scintillation…
