Cardiff PATT Rolling Grant

卡迪夫大学的天文学家参与了许多创新的世界级研究项目。这包括使用STFC和国际地面望远镜设施。这些包括JCMT， UKIRT, eMERLIN， INT， GMRT， VLA， Arecibo和Kitt Peak。我们一直在积极地观察从可见到无线电的电磁频谱。特别是我们已经参与了几个大规模的调查，包括无线电AGES调查，红外UKIDSS调查，和JCMT SCUBA2遗留调查（在接下来的2个月里，我们预计新的SCUBA2相机将在JCMT上出现）。我们的一些工作人员使用SCUBA2参与了许多不同的遗留调查。因此，在下一次滚动拨款期间，我们的望远镜使用量将不可避免地增加，因为我们被要求履行我们为调查提供望远镜人员的职责。我们注意到，我们没有使用上一个滚动赠款期的全部配额。因此，鉴于我们对望远镜使用的预期增加，我们要求在未来两年获得一定程度的资助。

The astronomers at Cardiff University are involved in many innovative world-class research programmes. These involve the use of both STFC and international ground-based telescope facilities. These include JCMT, UKIRT, eMERLIN, INT, GMRT, VLA, Arecibo and Kitt Peak. We have been active in observations across the electro-magnetic spectrum from the visible to the radio. In particular we have participated in several large-scale surveys, including the radio AGES survey, the infra-red UKIDSS survey, and the JCMT SCUBA2 Legacy Surveys (over the next 2 months we anticipate the advent of the new SCUBA2 camera on JCMT). Several of our members of staff are heavily involved in many of these different legacy surveys using SCUBA2. Therefore our telescope usage will inevitably increase over the period of the next rolling grant, as we are called upon to fulfill our part of the telescope staffing for the surveys. We note that we have not used our entire quota for the last rolling grant period. Therefore, in the light of our expected increase in telescope usage, we request level funding for the next 2 years.
