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/Caltechththe Cosmic Web Imager旨在发现和映射共鸣线从播层中介质发射，并探索低表面亮度宇宙。与使用QSO吸收相比，宇宙网络成像仪将部署在200英寸的Palomar 200英寸望远镜上，并在使用QSO吸收的视力稀疏线时进行改善。更广泛的影响包括为背景减法的鲁棒和准确算法的开发，这将产生超出该项目的影响。
