Interstellar Scattering and Scintillation of Radio Waves
TLDR
In this article, a review is presented of interstellar scattering and scintillation observations in the light of modern theory for extended, spatially homogeneous, power law inhomogenieties.Abstract:
A review is presented of interstellar scattering and scintillation observations in the light of modern theory for extended, spatially homogeneous, power law inhomogenieties. Formulas are presented for the experimentally observable quantities and are compared with data. A general discussion of the model is given. (GHT)read more

The Parkes multi-beam pulsar survey - I. Observing and data analysis systems, discovery and timing of 100 pulsars
Richard N. Manchester,Andrew Lyne,Fernando Camilo,J. F. Bell,V. M. Kaspi,N. D'Amico,N. P. F. McKay,Fronefield Crawford,Ingrid H. Stairs,A. Possenti,Michael Kramer,D. C. Sheppard +11 more
TL;DR: The survey is proving to be extremely successful, with more than 600 pulsars discovered so far as discussed by the authors, and the number of newly discovered pulsars tend to be young, distant and of high radio luminosity, which is a valuable sample for studies of pulsar emission properties, the Galactic distribution and evolution of pulsars, and as probes of interstellar medium properties.

Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Interstellar Plasmas
Yoram Lithwick,Peter Goldreich +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the density spectrum in turbulent magnetized plasmas by extending the theory of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence given by Goldreich & Sridhar to include the effects of compressibility and particle transport.

Interstellar Turbulence II: Implications and Effects
John Scalo,Bruce G. Elmegreen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the observations and theory of these effects is presented, and the theory of turbulent transport of passive tracers is reviewed, as well as the turbulent concentration of dust grains and the turbulent washout of radial abundance gradients.

Multifrequency Observations of Radio Pulse Broadening and Constraints on Interstellar Electron Density Microstructure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a CLEAN-based algorithm to deconvolve interstellar pulse broadening from the measured pulse shapes, and employed two distinct pulse-broadening functions (PBFs): PBF1 is appropriate for a thin screen of scattering material between the Earth and a pulsar, while PBF2 was appropriate for scattering material uniformly distributed along the line of sight from the Earth to a pulsars.

Fast radio bursts
TL;DR: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) as mentioned in this paper are the most common source of radio bursts and have a longer life cycle than the individual pulses from a pulsar and hence are many orders of magnitude more luminous than individual pulsars.
