| Abstract: Pulsar observers have to contend with several effects of propagation through the ionized interstellar medium. I review those effects and how they can be used to study the interstellar plasma. Pulsars are normally observed under conditions of strong scintillation and show both diffractive and refractive effects. I emphasize the diffractive scintillation as exhibited in the dynamic spectrum and in its converse – pulse broadening. From Parkes observations of the pulse broadening of PSR J1644-45, I estimate the inner scale in an interstellar region of strong plasma turbulence to be about 100 km. I discuss the representation of dynamic spectra in terms of their “secondary spectra” and show how the arcs, that are often revealed, are related to both angular broadening and pulse broadening. Anisotropy in the scattering both changes the scattered pulse shape but also enhances the visibility of the arcs. |

Abstract: Radio wave propagation through electron-density fluctuations in the ISM is studied. Observable propagation effects are explored using a one-dimensional thin-screen model for the turbulent medium. Diffraction caused by stochastic small-scale irregularities is combined with refraction from deterministic large-scale irregularities. Some of the effects are illustrated with numerical simulations of the wave propagation. Multiple imaging is considered, delineating the possible effects and discussing their extensions to two-dimensional screens and extended three-dimensional media. The case where refraction as well as diffraction is caused by a stochastic medium with a spectrum of a given form is considered. The magnitudes of observable effects is estimated for representative spectra that may be relevant to the ISM. The importance of the various effects for timing and scintillation observations of pulsars, VLBI observations of galactic and extragalactic radio sources, and for variability measurements of extragalactic sources is assessed. |

| Abstract: Evolution of initially smooth perturbations in a cold self-gravitating medium in a Friedmann Universe gives rise to the formation of singularities in the distribution of density in a manner similar to that of catastrophe theory. Using the approximate nonlinear theory of gravitational instability the objects formed were found to possess a very oblate shape–a “pancake” (Zeldovich, 1970). This result is shown in this paper to be a general feature of the evolution of so-called Lagrangian systems (Arnold, 1980). Pancakes are one of the several kinds of generic singularity formed at the nonlinear stage of evolution of such a system. Some of the others are a cusp, a beak-to-beak, a swailow-tail. In this paper we present the full list of singularities for the one- and two-dimensional cases (Figures 1-9). The three dimensional singularities will be discussed in Part II of the paper. We discuss the geometrical and some dynamical properties of each kind of singularity. We give also asymptotic laws for the growth of the density near each kind of singularity. This list of singularities gives the elements from which the large scale structure of the Universe is constructed. |
