The Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBALL) is a balloon-borne, vaccuum ultraviolet (200 nm), fiber-fed integral field spectrograph designed to observe line emission from the intergalactic (IGM) and circumgalactic (CGM) media in the redshift range 0.3 < z < 1.0. It had its first successful science flight in Juny 2009.
The Cosmic Web Imager (CWI) is a slicer-based integral field spectrograph built for the 200" Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. It is designed to detect and map line emission from the IGM, CGM and circum-QSO medium (CQM) in the redshift range 2 < z < 7.
The design, construction, commissioning, and initial scientific results of FIREBALL and CWI are presented.
