Today's colloquium: VLBI scintillometry
| Submitter: | Ue-Li Pen |
| Description: | NB: This is a special colloquium (by a very special guest), on an unusual day! Natural radio plasma lenses provide a new tool set for direct measurement of small scale structure of pulsar and FRB emission. VLBI allows a direct map of the lens geometry and properties. I present recent results on the crab pulsar, PSR B0834+06, black widow PSR B1957+20 and FRB110523, and new proposals for the nature of the enigmatic plasma lenses which are likely related to extreme scattering events.
