This consolidated grant application comprises a portfolio of related projects across the fields of astrophysics and instrumentation. The astrophysics projects are in three strands: high energy astrophysics; galaxy formation & evolution; and cosmology. These each have a direct and influential connection with the space facilities by which each field is or will be transformed. This is the particular advantage held by the Group, providing a noteworthy dimension to the work we propose. However our programme is by no means limited by MSSL hardware exploitation or even the exploitation of missions flying our hardware. Rather, every route available is considered, including ground-based facilities, when gathering the data necessary to understand the science questions that we address and that have been identified by STFC as being important. The Consolidated Grant also sets the foundation for the expoitation of future missions including JWST, Euclid, PLATO, Athena (and, potentially, LOFT), in which we have significant roles.Our instrumentation research is focused on the development of novel, miniaturised <0.1K coolers.We present twelve projects, aligned with these four fields of expertise. In order, these are three cases in high energy astrophysics/extreme gravity environments (Zane (2), Wu); four cases in galaxy formation and evolution (one of which links also to the high-energy astrophysics theme) (Page, Kawata, Cropper, Ferreras), three in cosmology (McEwen, Kitching (2)); and a technical case for the further development of a cryogenic cooler (Hepburn), which is an investment in a critical space technology for the future. This set of projects is chosen to take forward the core research activity of the Group. There is also an outreach request (Green) to ensure the outcomes of these projects are taken to the wider community.

该综合拨款申请包括天体物理学和仪器仪表领域的一系列相关项目。天体物理学项目分为三个方向：高能天体物理学；星系的形成与演化；和宇宙学。这些都与正在或将要改变每个领域的空间设施有着直接和有影响力的联系。这是该集团所拥有的特殊优势，为我们建议的工作提供了值得注意的维度。然而，我们的程序决不受 MSSL 硬件利用甚至飞行我们硬件的任务利用的限制。相反，在收集必要的数据以了解我们要解决的以及 STFC 认为重要的科学问题时，会考虑每一条可用的路线，包括地面设施。联合拨款还为未来任务的开发奠定了基础，包括 JWST、Euclid、PLATO、Athena（以及可能的 LOFT），我们在这些任务中发挥着重要作用。我们的仪器研究重点是开发新型、小型化 <0.1K 冷却器。我们提出了与这四个专业领域一致的 12 个项目。按顺序，这是高能天体物理/极重力环境中的三种情况（Zane (2), Wu）；四个关于星系形成和演化的案例（其中一个也与高能天体物理学主题相关）（Page、Kawata、Cropper、Ferreras），三个关于宇宙学的案例（McEwen、Kitching (2)）；以及进一步开发低温冷却器（赫本）的技术案例，这是对未来关键空间技术的投资。选择这组项目是为了推进集团的核心研究活动。还有一个外展请求（绿色），以确保将这些项目的成果带给更广泛的社区。
