The Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon and the Cosmic Web Imager: Two Integral Field Spectrographs Designed to Study Emission from the Intergalactic Medium
Gas in the intergalactic medium serves as the fuel for galaxies. It carries signatures of galactic feedback, including matter and energy outflows. Understanding the morphology, thermodynamics, chemistry, and kinematics of this gas is key to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. The princip...
