PATT Linked Grant for observational astrophysics QUB: 2010 - 2012

我们的提案旨在续签贝尔法斯特女王大学与专利挂钩的助学金。这项奖励将支付我们前往STFC和非STFC观测设施的旅费和生活费。PATT LINK GRANT将涵盖的观测天体物理学研究的主要课题包括：-研究我们自己和其他星系中的种群I和演化的OB型恒星；-调查超新星和恒星演化的结束阶段；-对太阳大气和其他冷恒星的高时间、空间和光谱分辨率的观测；-研究太阳系天体，包括彗星和小行星；-天体化学，包括星际和星际云；-调查行星星云；-对星际介质，特别是高速云的多波长研究；-对SuperWASP仪器探测到的系外行星和其他天体进行后续观测。

Our proposal seeks to renew the PATT Linked Grant at Queen's University Belfast. This award will cover our travel and subsistence costs to both STFC and non-STFC observing facilities. The major topics of observational astrophysics research to be covered by the PATT Linked Grant include: - the study of both Population I and evolved OB-type stars in our own and other galaxies; - investigations of supernovae and the end stages of stellar evolution; - high temporal, spatial and spectral resolution observations of the solar atmosphere and those of other cool stars; - studies of solar system bodies, including comets and asteroids; - astrochemistry, including that of interstellar and circumstellar clouds; - investigations of planetary nebulae; - multiwavelength studies of the interstellar medium, in particular high velocity clouds; - followup observations of exoplanets and other objects detected by the SuperWASP instrument.
