Queen's University Belfast Consolidated Grant 2014 - 2017

我们的综合资助汇集了天体物理学研究中心内的天体物理学研究项目，以及理论原子、分子和光学物理中心内的原子物理计算，以及两个中心之间的合作工作，该计划涵盖了贝尔法斯特女王大学数学和物理学院内所有agp资助的活动。该计划是多种多样的，涉及天体物理来源的观测和理论研究，从太阳到太阳系天体（小行星和彗星），围绕太阳以外的恒星运行的行星（系外行星），恒星形成的星际气体云，以及遥远星系中爆炸的恒星（超新星）。它还包括计算非常复杂的离子中原子过程的数据，如单电离铁（Fe II），并将这些结果应用于一系列天文物体，如高度活跃、本质明亮的类星体，这些类星体位于极远的距离，因此在宇宙非常年轻的时候就被观测到。

Our Consolidated Grant brings together research projects in astrophysics within the Astrophysics Research Centre, and atomic physics calculations within the Centre for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, plus collaborative work between the two Centres, in a programme which covers all of the AGP-funded activities within the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast. The programme is diverse, involving observational and theoretical studies of astrophysical sources ranging from the Sun to solar system bodies (asteroids and comets), planets orbiting stars other than the Sun (exoplanets), interstellar clouds of gas where stars are forming, and exploding stars in distant galaxies (supernovae). It also includes the calculation of data for atomic processes in very complex ions, such as singly ionized iron (Fe II), and the application of these results to a range of astronomical objects, such as highly active, intrinsically bright galaxies called quasars, which are at extremely large distances and hence observed when the Universe was very young.
