refractive interstellar scintillation
(RISS, refractive scintillation)
(refraction of star light by the ISM)
Refractive interstellar scintillation (RISS)
is scintillation (twinkling) of stars due to refraction
in the interstellar medium, particularly, discontinuities in the
ionization. It has been studied through analysis
of pulsar timing.
RISS effects are generally longer-term than diffractive interstellar scintillation (DISS) effects
(minutes to hours for DISS versus hours to much longer for RISS),
but the time-range of their effects overlap.
