Notes. The following values reproduce the scattering screen at a reference wavelength of λ0 ≡ 1 cm. The sizes along the major and minor axes of the anisotropic Gaussian (θmaj, 0, θmin, 0), position angle (PAG), screen-Sgr A* distance (Rscat), screen-observer distance (Dscat), inner scale (rin) for the power spectrum of the electron-density fluctuations in the screen, and the index (α) of the power law for that power spectrum produced by turbulence as given by Johnson et al. (2018). The scattering screen geometry is shown in Fig. 3.
