PATT-Linked Grant for Travel and Subsistence 2012-2014

这是一项与援助方案有关的继续赠款申请，用于支付天体物理研究所工作人员进行观测活动的旅费和生活费用。观察时间是在国际竞争、同行评审的申请程序中赢得的。ARI工作人员在各种天体物理学领域开展观测研究方案：恒星形成、星系和星系团的结构和内容、活动星系核、星系演化、伽玛射线暴、新星和超新星。我们目前有22名活跃的研究人员，其中6名是STFC望远镜或其他pat支持的地面望远镜的常规用户。我们遵循了目前的STFC指导方针，并提供了过去两年PATT观测运行的旅行和生活的全部细节。未来两年的预计支出将由两个JCMT遗留调查主导，使用SCUBA-2，其中一个由ljmu领导，现在已经开始，并将至少持续到2014年9月。

This is an application for a PATT-linked continuation grant to cover the travel and subsistence costs of observing runs carried out by staff at the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI). The observing time is won in internationally competitive, peer-reviewed applications procedures. ARI staff carry out observational research programmes in a diverse range of astrophysics: star formation, the structure and content of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, active galactic nuclei, galaxy evolution, gamma-ray bursts, novae and supernovae. We currently have 22 active researchers, of whom 6 are regular users of STFC telescopes or other PATT-supported ground-based telescopes. We have followed current STFC guidlines and give full details of travel and subsistence for PATT observing runs over the last two years. Projected expenditure in the next two years will be dominated by two JCMT legacy surveys using SCUBA-2, one of which is LJMU-led, that have now begun and will run at least until September 2014.
