The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper Northern Sky Survey of Galactic Ionized Hydrogen
G. J. Madsen, L. M. Haffner, R. J. Reynolds
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) has completed a one-degree resolution, velocity-resolved northern sky survey of H-alpha emission from our Galaxy. The unprecedented sensitivity…
Mapping the Galactic Free-Free Foreground via Interstellar H-Alpha Emission
R. J. Reynolds, L. M. Haffner
Recently completed H-Alpha surveys of large portions of the sky can be used to create maps of the free-free intensity distribution at high Galactic latitude that are independent of…
The extragalactic background and its fluctuations in the far-infrared wavelengths
G. Lagache, J-L. Puget, A. Abergel +22
A Cosmic Far-InfraRed Background (CFIRB) has long been predicted that would traces the intial phases of galaxy formation. It has been first detected by Puget et al.(1996) using COB…
The Gaseous ISM: Observations with the Wisconsin H-alpha Mapper (WHAM)
R. J. Reynolds, L. M. Haffner, S. L. Tufte
The Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) is a new facility dedicated to the study of faint optical emission lines from diffuse interstellar gas. During its first 18 months of operation,…
Probing Interstellar Turbulence in the Warm Ionized Medium using Emission Lines
S. L. Tufte, R. J. Reynolds, L. M. Haffner
The nature of turbulence in the warm ionized component of the interstellar medium (WIM) can be investigated using Fabry-Perot spectroscopy of optical emission lines. The H-alpha in…
