Radio Observational Constraints on Turbulent Astrophysical Plasmas
Abstract
Using radio observations of background sources, scattering phenomena may be used to characterize the properties of foreground turbulent plasma. We discuss the potential of such techniques to explore turbulence in the solar wind and interstellar medium. The Next Generation VLA will be an ideal instrument to exploit these techniques.
