Description

The scattering medium disclosed by the scintillation of galactic and extragalactic radio sources is distributed nonuniformly with radius in the Galaxy. Its space distribution, the amplitude of the electron-density fluctuations, and the large velocity dispersion of the scattering irregularities suggest that the strongly turbulized matter is concentrated in H II regions and supernova remnants
