Low-frequency angular broadening and diffuse interstellar plasma turbulence

Abstract

The effect of turbulence in the interplanetary medium (IPM) on measurements of a low-frequency interferometer is discussed. It is concluded that scattering by IPM will limit the effective sensitivity of a low-frequency interferometer to far above its theoretical value. If the limitations imposed by the IPM can be overcome, a low-frequency interferometer could be used to search for turbulence near supernova remnants, which has been hypothesized to play an important role in the acceleration of the cosmic rays.
