Improved estimates of interstellar scattering through the inner galaxy.
Abstract
A total of forty-one radio sources near the galactic plane were studied for interplanetary scintillations at 1420 and 327 MHz. Of the sources, eight showed scintillations at 1420 MHz and one showed scintillations at 327 MHz. It is suggested that the most likely explanation for the abscence of scintillations at 327 MHz is angular broadening of radio sources due to interstellar scattering.
