The distribution of the intensities of individual pulses of PSR B0950 + 08 as a function of the longitudes at which they appear is analyzed .
The flux density of the pulsar at 111 MHz varies strongly from day to day ( by up to a factor of 13 ) due to the passage of the radiation through the interstellar plasma ( interstellar scintillation ) .
The intensities of individual pulses can exceed the amplitude of the mean pulse profile , obtained by accumulating 770 pulses , by more than an order of magnitude .
The intensity distribution along the mean profile is very different for weak and strong pulses .
The differential distribution function for the intensities is a power law with index n = { - } 1.1 \pm 0.06 up to peak flux densities for individual pulses of the order of 160 Jy .
