Abstract/Summary:
This thesis presents the results of a project to develop a new probe of the interstellar medium: large-scale observations of H;In this thesis, I describe a new Fabry-Perot spectrometer constructed for this project and designed to detect diffuse Hz emission from the large-scale interstellar medium. The spectrometer is optimized for the detection of extended, low surface brightness line emission from 1.4...
