Proposal Abstract
Observations of the scattering disk of the pulsar 0329+54 due to turbulence
in the interstellar medium will be obtained
at 1.6 GHz. These observations will allow measurements of the spectral
index of the power spectrum of
turbulent density fluctuations in the ISM to be made as well as
allowing the
determination of the inner scale and the anisotropy of these fluctuations.
Simultaneous observations of the dynamic spectrum, dispersion measure
and rotation measure of this pulsar will also
be measured allowing for a more complete analysis of the turbulence
towards this pulsar to be made.
Periodic observation of the pulsar will allow the correlation of
several properties of the turbulence to be determined as well as allowing
the proper motion of the pulsar to be measured with high accuracy.

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.
