Table 2: List of scintillation parameters and values used in the simulation.
Input Description
parameters  
$k_{\rm min} = 6.807~{\rm m^{-1}}$ Minimum wavenumber
$k_{\rm max} = 6.912~{\rm m^{-1}}$ Maximum wavenumber
  ( $k_{\rm min}$ and $k_{\rm max}$ are the edges of
  the observed frequency range)
D = 0.7 kpc Distance between scintillation
  screen and observer
Q0 $= 1.1\times10^{-41}~{\rm m}^{-17/3}$ Amplitude of the power spectrum
  of the phase fluctuations
N = 128 Number of discrete points across
  the wavefield (total number of
  grid points = N2)
Measured  
parameters  
$r_{\rm F} = 1.7\times10^{9}$ m Fresnel scale ( $=\sqrt{D/k}$)
$r_{\rm diff} = 3\times10^{7}$ m Diffraction length scale
$r_{\rm ref} = 1.7\times10^{11}$ m Refraction length scale
  (= ${r_{\rm F}}^2/r_{\rm diff}$)
