Support for the 2017 SnowPAC Workshop

为犹他大学组织的SnowPAC 2017研讨会的参与者提供资金支持。该奖项将支持30名本来无法出席会议的个人参加会议(通过住宿和注册补贴)，特别强调扩大初级研究人员和传统上在天文学和天体物理学领域任职人数较少的团体的参与。SnowPAC研讨会是一个国际会议，回顾了粒子天体物理学、暗物质、暗能量、天文学和宇宙学的最新发展。它寻求在这些学科之间建立新的联系，并在这些研究领域的个人之间建立新的合作关系。本次研讨会的重点是莱曼-阿尔法发射星系(LAE)。对这些星系进行单独和大范围的研究，以深入了解宇宙再电离以及星系之间物质的性质和组成等问题。

Funds are provided for participant support for the SnowPAC 2017 Workshop organized by the University of Utah. The award will support participation (via lodging and registration subsidy) by 30 individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the meeting, with a particular emphasis on broadening participation by junior researchers and groups traditionally underrepresented in astronomy and astrophysics. The SnowPAC workshop is an international meeting that reviews recent developments in particle astrophysics, dark matter, dark energy, astronomy, and cosmology. It seeks to establish new connections between these disciplines and establish new collaborative ties between individuals working in these research areas. This workshop focuses on Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs). These galaxies are studied individually and in large ensembles to yield insight into such problems as cosmic re-ionization and the nature and composition of the matter between galaxies.
