AST-9619424 Dr. Ronald Reynolds has completed the instrumentation for the Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) Fabry-Perot facility and installed it on Kitt Peak, Arizona. He will now begin an observational survey to explore the warm ionized component of the interstellar medium. The survey will significantly improve our basic knowledge and understanding of the composition and morphology of interstellar matter and the principal mechanisms of ionization and heating within the disk and halo of the Galaxy. =================================

AST-9619424 罗纳德雷诺兹博士已经完成了威斯康星州H-阿尔法成像仪（WHAM）法布里-珀罗设施的仪器，并将其安装在亚利桑那州的基特峰。 他现在将开始一项观测调查，探索星际介质中温暖的电离成分。 这项调查将大大提高我们对星际物质的组成和形态以及银河系盘和晕内电离和加热的主要机制的基本知识和理解。 =================================
