Cardiff PATT Travel Grant

在我们目前的专利挂钩赠款中，我们在04/2016-04/2018期间获得了总计32,592 GB的奖励。我们目前已经花掉了这笔拨款的72%，预计到当前赠与期结束时已经花掉了100%。在此，我们请求略微扩大GB 42,242的拨款，以支持加的夫下一个时期的实质性观测方案。提出这一要求的理由是：(I)加的夫天文学家在领导和支持JCMT遗留观测方面发挥了越来越大的作用；(Ii)继续努力领导IRAM 30M上的两个保证时间计划；(Iii)加的夫在LMT上使用新仪器的新研究机会；(Iv)加的夫观测天文学工作人员的持续(甚至略有增加)数量。

In our current PATT Linked Grant we were awarded a total of £32,592 for the period 04/2016-04/2018. We have currently spent 72% of this allocation and expect to have spent 100% by the time the current grant period ends. Here we request a slightly expanded allocation of £42,242 to support Cardiff's substantial observing programmes in the next period. This request is justified by: (i) an increasing role played by Cardiff astronomers in leading and supporting JCMT legacy surveys; (ii) a continued effort in leading two guaranteed time programmes on the IRAM 30m; (iii) new research opportunities for Cardiff to use new instrumentation on the LMT; (iv) a sustained (even slightly increased) number of Cardiff observational astronomy staff.
