Dispersion in the interstellar medium is a well known phenomenon that follows a simple relationship, which has been used to predict the time delay of dispersed radio pulses since the late 1960s. We performed wide-band simultaneous…

Gravitational light bending by compact stars is an important astrophysical phenomenon. The bending angle depends on the stellar compactness, which is the ratio of stellar mass $M$ to radius $R$. In this paper, we investigate the pulse…
