Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, I review our current understanding of interstellar scintillations (ISS) of pulsars. The emphasis is on new results that have appeared during the last five years. The topics covered include (i) review of the understanding of refractive ISS (ii) the shape of the spectrum of electron density fluctuations in the interstellar medium (iii) the distribution of scattering plasma in the Galaxy (iv) resolving pulsar emission regions using ISS and (v) ISS and pulsar velocities.
