| Abstract: | The dependence of the scatter broadening of extragalactic sources on the dispersion measures of distant pulsars observed along nearby lines of sight and the dependence of broadening of pulsar pulses on the scatter broadening observed for the pulsars themselves and for extragalactic sources observed along nearby lines of sight are constructed and analyzed. These dependences can be used to study turbulent plasma in the Galaxy. The effective scattering layer in the direction toward the pulsar B1933+16 is located in the Sagittarius arm at a distance of ≈3.4 kpc from the observer, and has an extent of ≈0.55 kpc. The scatter broadening and pulse broadening of B0833-45 are due to the turbulent medium in the shell of the Gum Nebula. The distance from the pulsar to the center of the scattering layer is≈43 pc. Data on scattering of the radiation of the pulsar B1818-04 and of the extragalactic source J1821-0502, together with data on the distribution of OB stars in the direction toward this pulsar, are used to show that the distance to the pulsar is ≈0.6 kpc; an H II region around the O7V star HD 171198, located 0.42 kpc from the Sun, is responsible for the scattering of this pulsar’s radiation. |
