Dispersion measure variations and their effect on precision pulsar timing

We present an analysis of the variations seen in the dispersion measures (DMs) of 20-ms pulsars observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project.We carry out a statistically rigorous structure function analysis for each pulsar and show that the variations seen for most pulsars are consi...
