intensity mapping surveys
(intensity mapping experiments, line intensity mapping surveys)
(efforts mapping the intensity of spectral lines across the sky)
There are quite a number of intensity mapping surveys, i.e.,
surveys carrying out intensity mapping
(aka line intensity mapping, LIM).
They search for lines associated with star formation
and associated galaxies, through emission lines
produced by the galaxies or through absorption lines
imprinted on electromagnetic radiation from further back.
Among the lines mapped:
These wavelengths are mapped in the study
of the Milky Way, but the term intensity mapping
is typically used for surveys of cosmological interest,
of these lines at various redshifts.
