Imaging without visibilities: FAST-Effelsberg scintillometry of PSR B1508+55

Tim Sprenger, Xun Shi, Olaf Wucknitz +1

Context. The spatially coherent multipath propagation of pulsar radiation leads to a temporal and spectral interference patterns called scintillation. It is caused by density varia…

Single-pulse-based interstellar scintillation studies of RRATs

Zi-wei Wu, Wei-wei Zhu, Zi-yao Fang +16

The nature of irregularly spaced pulses of rotating radio transients (RRATs) complicates interstellar scintillation studies. In this letter, we report the primary scintillation par…

Merger-Driven Turbulence and Coherent Transport in the Intracluster Medium

Yiwei Zhang, Xun Shi, Daisuke Nagai

The distribution of metals and temperature in the intracluster medium (ICM) provides key insights into galaxy cluster evolution, revealing information about chemical enrichment and…

Pulsar scattering as a probe for structures in the interstellar medium

Qiuyi He, Xun Shi, Guangxing Li

Due to the inhomogeneity of electron number density, radio waves emitted by pulsars undergo scattering as they pass through the interstellar medium (ISM). However, a connection bet…

Lensing point-spread function of coherent astrophysical sources and non-trivial wave effects

Xun Shi

Most research on astrophysical lensing has been conducted using the geometric optics framework, where there exists a clear concept of lensing images. However, wave optics effects c…

An Extreme Radio Fluctuation of Pulsar B192910

Zhengli Wang, Shunshun Cao, Jiguang Lu +7

We report the detection of an extreme flux decrease accompanied by clear dispersion measure (DM) and rotation measure (RM) variations for pulsar B1929+10 during the 110-minute radi…

Acquiring the Lefschetz thimbles: efficient evaluation of the diffraction integral for lensing in wave optics

Xun Shi

Evaluating the Kirchhoff-Fresnel diffraction integral is essential in studying wave effects in astrophysical lensing, but is often intractable because of the highly oscillatory int…

Stokes phenomena in lensing

Xun Shi

As lensing of coherent astrophysical sources e.g. pulsars, fast radio bursts, and gravitational waves becomes observationally relevant, the mathematical framework of Picard-Lefsche…

The Galactic distribution of pulsar scattering and the relation

Qiuyi He, Xun Shi

Interstellar radio wave scattering leads to flux density fluctuations and pulse broadening of pulsar signals. However, Galactic distribution and the structure of the scattering med…
