Calibrating SZ Mass Estimates with Weak Lensing: Executing observations with the Magellan Telescope

作为南极望远镜（SPT）合作的一部分，我们的国际团队最近获得了智利拉斯坎帕纳斯天文台Clay-Magellan望远镜的五个夜晚，以测量约50个SPT选定的星团在0.4 <z <0.6的弱透镜质量。在本提案中，我们要求为Applegate博士领导这些观察提供差旅费（4000欧元）。Applegate博士是这些观测的科学协调员，也是观测团队中透镜质量数据处理的专家。由于授标通知和开始观察之间的时间压缩，我们在本建议书中只要求提供差旅费，以确保及时处理。

As part of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Collaboration, our international team has been recently awarded five nights on the Clay-Magellan telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, to measure weak-lensing masses for ~50 SPT selected clusters at 0.4 < z < 0.6. In this proposal, we request travel funds (4000 Euro) for Dr. Applegate to lead these observations. Dr. Applegate is the Science Coordinator for these observations and is the expert in lensing-quality data processing on the observing team. Due to the compressed time between award notification and the start of observations, we only request travel funds in this proposal to ensure timely processing.
