Transient Blurring of the Scintillation Arc of Pulsar B1737+13
Yen-Hua Chen, Samuel Siegel, Daniel Baker +2
For many pulsars, the scattering structures responsible for scintillation are typically dominated by a single, thin screen along the line of sight, which persists for years or deca…

On the cusp of cusps: a universal model for extreme scattering events in the ISM
Dylan L. Jow, Ue-Li Pen, Daniel Baker
The scattering structures in the ISM responsible for so-called ``extreme scattering events" (ESEs), observed in quasars and pulsars, remain enigmatic. Current models struggle to ex…

Scintillated microlensing: measuring cosmic distances with fast radio bursts
Anna Tsai, Dylan L. Jow, Daniel Baker +1
We propose a novel means of directly measuring cosmological distances using scintillated microlensing of fast radio bursts (FRBs). In standard strong lensing measurements of cosmic…
