Armagh Observatory Visitor Support Grant: 2010-2013

对于阿马天文台的研究人员来说，保持在现代天文学前沿的地位是非常重要的。游客对我们不断扩大的计划是必不可少的。在研究我们的太阳、太阳系、恒星的诞生和行为方面，新的想法、新的模型、计算机模拟和新的数据分析技术正在发展。一批参观者为天体物理学的讨论带来了额外的活力，加快了出版物的产出和质量，改进了我们使用的数值、分析和数据分析技术，并增加了国家和国际合作的数量。

It is of great importance for researchers at Armagh Observatory to maintain a position at the forefront of modern astronomy. Visitors are essential to our expanding programme. New ideas, new models and computer simulations, and new data analysis techniques are being developed in studies of our Sun, the Solar System, the birth and behaviour of stars. A stream of visitors generates extra vitality to the astrophysical discussions, accelerates the output and quality of publications, improves the numerical, analytical and data analysis techniques we use and increases the number of national and international collaborations.
