The "Diffuse Cosmic Backgrounds and the Low Surface Brightness Universe" conference will be held at the Aspen Center for Physics in April 2024. This grant will support the participation of primarily junior scientists on a need-based basis.The conference will focus on observations and theory of the cosmic background OIR light and how they connect to the populations of galaxies and low surface brightness structures over the history of the universe. The conference will address the following questions: (i) What is the history of light production in the universe, including all possible sources? (ii) What will large new facilities like JWST and Rubin teach us about this? (iii) What role do dwarf galaxies, low surface brightness objects, and the intra-halo light play in the baryon budget of the universe? (iv) What can we learn from low-cost ground-based instruments such as Dragonfly or Condor?This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

“弥漫性宇宙背景和低表面亮度宇宙”会议将于2024年4月在阿斯彭物理中心举行。该赠款将支持主要是基于需求的基础基于初级科学家的参与。会议将重点介绍宇宙背景的观察和理论。会议将解决以下问题：（i）包括所有可能的来源在内的宇宙中光生产的历史是什么？ （ii）像JWST和Rubin这样的大型新设施将教给我们什么？ （iii）矮星系，低表面亮度对象和宇宙Baryon预算中的halo灯内发挥作用是什么？ （iv）我们可以从低成本的地面工具（例如蜻蜓或秃鹰）中学到什么？该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
