5 DM Variations in Timing 50cm 20cm 10cm 20cm

6 PPTA DM Variations You et al., MNRAS, 2007

7 DM Structure Function Measure of turbulent power at different scales Expected to be exponential with spectral index α = 5/3 for Kolmogorov model

8 Typical SF You et al., MNRAS, 2007

9 Kolmogorov Slope (1000 days ≈ 7.8 AU) You et al., MNRAS, 2007

10 Large Inner Scale (10 days ≈ 0.4 AU) You et al., MNRAS, 2007

11 PSR J0437-4715 SF 1000 days ≈ 61 AU You et al., MNRAS, 2007

12 0437 DM Variations ~500 days ≈ 30 AU 2004 2008

13 Scintillation & TOAs PSR J0437-4715 685 MHz 2 hours, 8sec integrations TOA residual Signal-to-Noise -1

14 Scintillation/TOA - Simulations Coles et al., in preparation

15 Grad DM - Simulations Coles et al., in preparation

16 Correlation - Real Data Coles et al., in preparation

17 Conclusions PTAs need high timing precision.  ISM effects need to be corrected  Most easily measured at low frequencies  ISM: an interesting place that keeps surprising…
