Folded Fields as the Source of Extreme Radio-Wave Scattering in the Galactic Center

Folded Fields as the Source of Extreme Radio-Wave Scattering in the Galactic Center

A strong case has been made that radio waves from sources within about half a degree of the Galactic center undergo extreme diffractive scattering. However, problems arise when standard ("Kolmogorov") models of electron density fluctuations are employed to interpret the observations of scattering in conjunction with those of free-free radio …
