Abstract

Pulsar scintillation measurements from the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT) are used to investigate the distribution of scattering in the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM; region of ≤ 1 kpc of the Sun), specifically the region in and around the Local Bubble. A 3-componentmodel, where the Solar neighborhood is surrounded by a shell of enhanced plasma turbulence, is proposed for the LISM. Further, the Ooty data, along with those from Parkes and other telescopes are used for investigating thedistribution of scattering towards the nearby Loop I Superbubble.
