The Galactic Distribution of Electron Density Microstructure Inferred from Radio Scattering Observations*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
I first review the observables and optics of interstellar seeing associated with radio wave scattering in the interstellar medium. I then describe the Galactic distribution of electron density and its fluctuations, as inferred from a number of observables, including angular and pulse broadening, diffractive scintillations, and dispersion measures. Propects for improving the Galactic model are outlined.
