The main objective is to line_3: investigate the opacity of the intergalactic medium in the Lyman continuum and line_4: to carry out the He+ equivalent of the Gunn-Peterson test for once ionized line_5: intergalactic helium. ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: JAKOBSEN fname: PETER inst: ESA, ESTEC country: NETHERLANDS esa: X ! lname: BOKSENBERG fname: ALEC inst: ROYAL GREENWICH OBSERVATORY country: UNITED KINGDOM esa: X ! lname: BLADES fname: J.

Hence it is ideally line_3: suited to carry out a first exploratory survey of the redshift Lyman continuum line_4: spectra of the highest redshift quasars. ! question: 13 section: 1 line_1: A first exploratory survey of the redshifted Lyman continuum spectra of the line_2: hghest redshift quasars will be carried out using the objective prism mode of line_3: the FOC. The main objective is to investigate the opacity of the intergalactic line_4: medium in the Lyman continuum and to carry out the He + equivalent of the line_5: Gunn-Peterson test. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: JAKOBSEN fname: PETER category: PI inst: ESA, ESTEC !
