This program will build a state-of-the-art database and user interface for the Subaru Measurements of Images and Redshifts (SuMIRe) sky survey. SuMIRe is a 600-night imaging and spectroscopic widefield survey currently underway using the Subaru 8-meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Broader impacts of the work involve training of undergraduate and graduate students in data processing, analysis, and management skills. The program will recruit five undergraduates from underrepresented groups each year. Summer workshops for students on a national basis will extend training beyond the home institutions. The following are major scientific goals: (1) provide a public portal to the SuMIRe survey data (images and spectroscopy) for the astronomical community, and (2) develop a processing pipeline for the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) data that is part of the SuMIRe survey. The multi-color imaging survey will be ~1400 sq. degrees to ~26 magnitude (much deeper but over a smaller field than Sloan Digital Sky Survey); the spectroscopic survey will cover 300 nights in 2019-2024 and will be based on targets from the imaging survey.

该计划将为斯巴鲁图像和红移测量（SuMIRe）巡天建立一个最先进的数据库和用户界面。 SuMIRe是一个600夜的成像和光谱宽视场调查，目前正在使用斯巴鲁8米望远镜在夏威夷莫纳克亚山。 这项工作的更广泛的影响包括对本科生和研究生进行数据处理、分析和管理技能的培训。 该计划每年将从代表性不足的群体中招募五名本科生。 在全国范围内为学生举办的暑期讲习班将把培训范围扩大到本国机构以外。 以下是主要的科学目标：（1）为天文学界提供一个SuMIRe调查数据（图像和光谱学）的公共门户网站，以及（2）为作为SuMIRe调查一部分的主焦点光谱仪（PFS）数据开发一个处理管道。 多色成像测量面积约为1400平方米。度到~26等（比斯隆数字巡天更深，但范围更小）;光谱巡天将在2019-2024年覆盖300个夜晚，并将基于成像巡天的目标。
