Scientific paper

Interstellar shocks that are sufficiently thin (less than 10 AU) and sufficiently strong are capable of producing observable flux modulations and multiple images of background point radio sources. From the statistics of observed refraction events, inferences may be drawn concerning the relationship between small-scale electron density structure and large-scale phenomena like SN explosions and strong stellar winds. In order for shock refraction events to be frequent, the effective cross section must be much larger than predicted for an ideal spherical shock.
