St Andrews Astronomy: PATT linked travel and subsistence

我们请求以与PATT挂钩的赠款的形式提供旅行和生活支助，以使圣安德鲁斯大学天文学小组的观察员能够利用PATT等同行审查小组授予的关于主要国际设施的望远镜时间。我们还寻求批准前往其他较小的望远镜。特别是，我们寻求支持2011a学期和2012a学期期间使用上普罗旺斯1.9米望远镜上的索菲光谱仪和拉西拉1.2米瑞士欧拉望远镜上的Coralie进行的后续径向速度观测。这将使我们能够测量SuperWASP广域巡天相机发现的太阳系外行星的质量和自转轨道失调，该相机目前正开始在拉帕尔马上运行第六个年头。我们是地球和MindStep联盟的活跃成员，并寻求批准偶尔前往南半球的小型望远镜，以协助对银河系凸起微透镜事件的密集观测活动。

We request travel and subsistence support in the form of a PATT-linked grant to enable observers in the Astronomy group at the University of St Andrews to take up telescope time awarded by peer review panels such as PATT, on major international facilities. We also seek approval for travel to other, smaller telescopes. In particular, we seek support for follow-up radial-velocity observations during Semester 2011A and Semester 2012A using the SOPHIE spectrograph on the 1.9-m telescope at Haute-Provence (OHP) and CORALIE on the 1.2-m Swiss Euler telescope at la Silla. This will enable us to measure the masses and spin-orbit misalignments of extra-solar planets found by the SuperWASP Wide-Field Sky Patrol Camera, which is currently beginning its sixth year of operation on La Palma. We are active members of the PLANET and MiNDSTEp consortia, and seek approval for occasional travel to small telescopes in the southern hemisphere to assist in intensive observing campaigns on Galactic Bulge microlensing events.
