Measuring the Metagalactic Ionizing Flux and the Gaseous Extent of Galaxies using Optical Fabry-Perot Spectrophotometry

用光学法布里-珀罗分光光度法测量银河系电离通量和星系的气体范围。Drs。Vogel和Veilleux将执行一项计划，以确定局部超星系电离辐射的强度（由所有源产生的零红移电离背景），并研究星系中性盘以外的扩散电离气体。为了这项工作，帕洛玛60英寸望远镜将安装一个宽视场成像法布里-佩罗光谱仪。======================================

AST-9529167 Stuart Vogel Sylvain Veilleux Measuring the Metagalactic Ionizing Flux and the Gaseous Extent of Galaxies Using Optical Fabry-Perot Spectrophotometry. Drs. Vogel and Veilleux will carry out a program to determine the intensity of the local metagalactic ionizing radiation (the ionizing background at zero redshift produced by the sum of all sources) and to study diffuse ionized gas beyond the neutral disks of galaxies. For this work a wide-field imaging Fabry- Perot spectrometer will be installed on the Palomar 60-inch telescope. ======================================
