TL;DR: The ATCA is part of the Australia Telescope, which is funded by the Commonwealth of Australia for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO as discussed by the authors, and is operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, a facility of the US National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the properties of the diffractive scintillation toward the Vela pulsar under the extremely strong scattering conditions encountered at 660 MHz and obtained a decorrelation bandwidth of v d = 244±4 Hz and diffractive decorrelation timescale of t diff = 3.3±0.3s.

TL;DR: In this paper, conditions have to be satisfied for observable signatures of diffractive scintillation in intraday variable (IDV) sources and apply this discussion to the quasar PKS 0405-385 which had a scintillating component with angular size of 5 Mas (Kedziora-Chudczer et al. 1997).

TL;DR: In this paper, the three-dimensional structure of the Galactic magnetic field and electron density distribution was probed through observations of radio pulsars, primarily owing to their compact nature, high velocities, and highly-polarized short-duration radio pulses.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the average values of the Stokes parameters decay according to the polarization covariance, which is a measure of the depolarization of any linearly polarized component.
