The correlation between the scattering angle and the emission measure in the interstellar medium
Abstract
The empirical dependence of the interstellar scattering angle on the galactic background emission measure is derived. It is shown that this dependence varies significantly for the diffuse ionized gas in the spiral arms of the Galaxy and beyond them.
