Interstellar scattering in the inner parts of the Galaxy

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

A new survey of the galactic plane for sources with size less than 1 arc s at 327 MHz shows that towards the inner parts of the galaxy for galactic latitudes less than 5°, interstellar scattering is much larger than expected from data at higher latitudes. The enhanced scattering varies both with galactic latitude and longitude. A two-component model for the distribution of scattering matter in the Galaxy is proposed to interpret the observations.
