Scintillation Materials

I am working towards making a common archive for scintillation data, and a common repository for scintillation-relevant packages (links to come!). In the meantime, here are some useful starting points:

Scintillometry ADS Library: This ADS library is maintained by Dr. Tim Sprenger, my former student at MPIfR, in an attempt to have a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of relevant papers.

Screens: the `screens' package maintained by Prof. Marten van Kerkwijk has many well-written explanations and tutorials.

scintools: 'scintools' by Dr. Daniel Reardon has some very nice tools to measuring and modelling scintillation

FundiScintTutorial2021, FundiScintTutorial2023: Two `Fundi' tutorials I created as part of a tutorial series for graduate students at Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. These two step through how to measure scintillation in pulsar data
