AST-0505381 Martin/CaltechThe Cosmic Web Imager is designed to discover and map resonance UV line emission from the intergalactic medium and to explore the low surface brightness universe. The Cosmic Web Imager will be deployed on the Palomar 200 inch telescope and will improve upon mapping of the intergalactic medium compared with using the sparse lines of sight afforded by using QSO absorption. Broader impacts include the development of robust and accurate algorithms for background subtraction, which will have impacts beyond this one project.

AST-0505381 Martin/Caltech宇宙网络成像仪旨在发现和绘制来自星系际介质的共振紫外线发射，并探索低表面亮度宇宙。宇宙网成像仪将安装在Palomar 200英寸望远镜上，与利用类星体吸收提供的稀疏视线相比，将改进星系间介质的测绘。更广泛的影响包括开发强大而准确的背景扣除算法，其影响将超出这一项目的范围。
