Scientific paper

This paper discusses the use of very low frequency radio emission as a probe of astrophysical plasmas. The density distribution and the degree of turbulence of a plasma can be determined from its effect on background radio sources. These same absorption phenomena can be used to determine magnetic field strengths within plasmas. Detection of unabsorbed synchrotron emission can provide information on the relativistic plasma component. Finally, time variable emission may prove useful in the detection of brown dwarfs and Jupiter-like planets.
