点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We apply for an STFC visitors grant to support the research programmes of the five current staff members in the Astrophysics Group at Sheffield: Paul Crowther (hot stars, star formation), Richard de Grijs (young star clusters in interacting and starburst galaxies), Vik Dhillon (accretion disks, binary stars, astronomical instrumentation), Simon Goodwin (star formation; the stellar initial mass function) and Clive Tadhunter (radio galaxies, AGN and quasars). The visitors will provide essential input to the various, internationally competitive research projects currently underway at Sheffield; they will also play a key role in the scientific life of the department.
