Abstract

From 1979 to 1996 the Green Bank Interferometer was used by the Naval Research Laboratory to monitor the flux density from 146 compact radio sources at frequencies near 2 and 8GHz. We filter the light curves to separate intrinsic variations on times of a year or more from more rapid interstellar scintillation (ISS) on times of 550 days. Whereas the intrinsic variation at 2GHz is similar to that at 8GHz (although diminished in amplitude), the ISS variation is much stronger at 2 than at 8GHz. We characterize the ISS variation by an rms amplitude and a timescale and examine the statistics of these parameters for the 121 sources with significant ISS at 2GHz. We model the scintillations using the NE2001 Galactic electron model assuming the sources are brightness-limited.
