TL;DR
This paper explores the potential of detecting turbulent interstellar gas by observing scintillation effects in the light from distant stars, using a test with the ESO-NTT telescope.
Contribution
It introduces a novel observational approach to identify turbulent interstellar gas through stellar scintillation measurements.
Findings
Initial test results are promising for detecting interstellar turbulence.
The method shows potential for studying Galactic molecular clouds.
Future observations could improve understanding of interstellar medium turbulence.
Abstract
Stars twinkle because their light propagates through the atmosphere. The same phenomenon is expected when the light of remote stars crosses a Galactic - disk or halo - refractive medium such as a molecular cloud.We present the promising results of a test performed with the ESO-NTT and the perspectives.
