Abstract

This paper reviews the chief observational phenomena that define interstellar scintillation (ISS) and have given evidence for a widespread distribution of plasma turbulence on very small scales. Though ISS was discovered in pulsars and is still a major perturbation of their signals, it is now also recognized in a variety of fluctuations in the flux density from quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs).

星际闪烁:观测亮点

本文回顾了定义星际闪烁(ISS)的主要观测现象，并为等离子体湍流在非常小的尺度上的广泛分布提供了证据。虽然国际空间站是在脉冲星中发现的，并且仍然是脉冲星信号的主要扰动，但现在它也被发现在类星体和活动星系核(agn)的各种通量密度波动中。
