Popis: We constructed a far ultraviolet (FUV) all sky map based on observations from the Far Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS) aboard the Korean microsatellite STSAT-1. For the ~20% of the sky not covered by FIMS observations, predictions from a deep artificial neural network were used. Seven datasets were chosen for input parameters, including five all sky maps of H-alpha, E(B-V), N(HI), and two X-ray bands, with Galactic longitudes and latitudes. 70% of the pixels of the observed FIMS dataset were randomly selected for training as target parameters and the remaining 30% were used for validation. A simple four-layer neural network architecture, which consisted of three convolution layers and a dense layer at the end, was adopted, with an individual activation function for each convolution layer; each convolution layer was followed by a dropout layer. The predicted FUV intensities exhibited good agreement with Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) observations made in a similar FUV wavelength band for high Galactic latitudes. As a sample application of the constructed map, a dust scattering simulation was conducted with model optical parameters and a Galactic dust model for a region that included observed and predicted pixels. Overall, FUV intensities in the observed and predicted regions were reproduced well.
