PSR 0950+08

P. Janardhan, Radio Astronomy Division, Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, reports for M.R. Deshpande, Hari Om Vats, A.D. Bobra, P. Venat, N.S. Nirman, K.S. Lali and himself : "On july 29.35 UT pulsar 0950+08 showed enhanced scintillating flux at 103 MHz, for the first time in many years, along with large amplitude pulses, roughly 8-10 times the normal observed levels. The observations were carried out with two similar interplanetary scintillation (IPS) telescopes, separated by 200 km thereby ruling out ionospheric scintillation and local interference. Other sources in the vicinity showed normal levels of scintillation prior to and after the day of the observations."
