Associate Scientist for the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre

设立了XMM-牛顿测量科学中心，以确保广大科学界充分利用欧洲航天局的基石XMM-牛顿X射线观测站进行观测的科学潜力。SSC是由联合王国牵头的一项欧洲活动，该活动正在为用户开发软件，并对来自XMM-牛顿卫星的所有数据进行初步处理，正在进行初步处理，正在编制全面的X射线源目录，并正在利用地面光学望远镜开展后续鉴定方案，以促进可从大样本X射线源获得的科学研究。因此，南南合作对任务的成功至关重要。沃拉尔教授是XMM-牛顿科学研究小组副科学家的成员。这份申请要求她提供必要的资源来履行她的职责，其中包括向开发团队提供有关数据产品和X射线识别活动的独立建议。所要求的旅费和生活费将使她能够通过参加科学咨询小组和X射线鉴定工作组每半年举行一次的会议，与小组成员互动。

The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) was established to ensure that the scientific potential of observations using the European Space Agency's cornerstone XMM-Newton X-ray observatory can be exploited fully by the broad scientific community. The SSC is a European UK-led activity that is developing software for users and for the initial processing of all data from the XMM-Newton satellite, is undertaking that initial processing, is creating comprehensive X-ray source catalogues, and is undertaking a follow-up identification programme using ground-based optical telescopes to facilitate the science that can be obtained from large samples of X-ray sources. The SSC is thus vital to the success of the mission. Professor Worrall is a member of the XMM-Newton SSC team in the capacity of Associate Scientist. This application requests the necessary resources for her to fulfil her responsibilities, which include providing independent advice to the development team concering the data products and X-ray identification activities. The travel and subsistence requested will allow her to interact with team members through participation in the semi-annual meetings of the Science Advisory Group and X-ray Identification Working Group.
