Why Do Compact Active Galactic Nuclei at High Redshift Scintillate Less?
The fraction of compact active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that exhibit interstellar scintillation (ISS) at radio wavelengths, as well as their scintillation amplitudes, have been found to decrease significantly for sources at redshifts z gsim 2. This can be attributed to an increase in the angular sizes...
