Proposal Abstract
We propose to observe five brightest pulsars in conjunction with 3-5 ground radio telescopes at 1.67 GHz. The following scientific
objectives will be probed: 1) direct measurements of scattering diameters will yield information on the
electron density turbulence in the interstellar medium; 2) direct measurements
of multiple images during strong refraction event will permit us to estimate the
distance of the lensing regions and probe superresolution technique; 3) data-processing under
the short-exposure conditions Delta B < Delta nu_{sc} and tau < t_{sc}
will enable us to test scattering reduction technique in SVLBI experiment; 4)
pulsars with low scattering can be used as good calibrators for space-ground
interferometer.

can be retrieved.
Note that many proposals were reduced in extent by the Scientific Review Committee
(e.g. by reducing the number of experiments), however the Cover Sheets contain
the full proposal as submitted.
Also note that AO1 proposals were submitted in November 1995, and information such
as affiliations and contact details has changed for some proposers since that time.
The Cover Sheets (and the details on this page, which were derived from the Cover Sheets)
may therefore have changed.
