Calibrating SZ Mass Estimates with Weak Lensing: Executing observations with the Magellan Telescope

作为南极望远镜(SPT)合作的一部分，我们的国际团队最近获得了智利拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台的克莱-麦哲伦望远镜的五个夜晚的奖励，以测量大约50个SPT选定星团在0.4；z&lt；0.6的弱透镜质量。在这项提案中，我们要求为Applegate博士提供旅行资金(4000欧元)来领导这些观察。阿普盖特博士是这些观测的科学协调员，也是观测团队中透镜质量数据处理方面的专家。由于从获奖通知到开始发表意见之间的时间很短，我们在本提案中只要求旅费，以确保及时处理。

As part of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Collaboration, our international team has been recently awarded five nights on the Clay-Magellan telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, to measure weak-lensing masses for ~50 SPT selected clusters at 0.4 < z < 0.6. In this proposal, we request travel funds (4000 Euro) for Dr. Applegate to lead these observations. Dr. Applegate is the Science Coordinator for these observations and is the expert in lensing-quality data processing on the observing team. Due to the compressed time between award notification and the start of observations, we only request travel funds in this proposal to ensure timely processing.
