In this lecture, I will give a quick introduction on the theory of scintillation from a thin screen, and how scintillation parameters relate to the geometry and velocity of the pulsar and screens.

Code:  Notebook, and some data are on github (I will be updating in the coming week).  https://github.com/ramain/FundiScintTutorial2023

You will need psrchive to convert your archive into a dynamic spectrum.  I typically use Vivek's singularity image, copied a few places (e.g.)

/fpra/mkat/01/users/vivek/singularity_images/pulsar_folder-2021-11-25-1de34f05edfa.sif

/fpra/bursts/01/pulsar_folder-2021-11-25-1de34f05edfa.sif

The tutorial will follow an ipython notebook, using basic packages (numpy, scipy, astropy), as well as lmfit

Data:  Have a handy copy of any archive that you wish to look at for scintillation.  Remember it needs to have full time and frequency information, not t- or f-scrunched.  There will be a example dynamic spectra included in the github above
