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.

作为南极望远镜（SPT）合作项目的一部分，我们的国际团队最近在智利拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台的克莱麦哲伦望远镜上获得了5个晚上的时间，以测量0.4 < z < 0.6的约50个SPT选择的弱透镜质量。在此提案中，我们要求为Applegate博士提供4000欧元的差旅费。阿普尔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。由于奖励通知和观察开始之间的时间很短，我们在本提案中只要求旅费，以确保及时处理。
