Cardiff Linked Grant

STFC先前通过PATT赠款提供的支持使卡迪夫天文学家能够在JCMT、UKIRT、MMT、ATCA和MOPRA上执行其PI和co-I观测计划，包括SCUBA-2和HARP。这种支持对于支持卡迪夫的积极研究目标至关重要，包括描述宇宙中最遥远的已知物体，对银河平面中星星形成活动的全面普查，附近星系中的气体和尘埃以及调查我们最近的邻居仙女座星系中的暗气体。除了个人PI项目，卡迪夫也是许多JCMT遗产计划的积极成员，包括JCMT宇宙学遗产调查（CLS），SASSY，银河平面调查（JPS）和古尔德带调查。在这里，我们建议继续支持，使卡迪夫天文学家（a）利用许多赫歇尔项目，其中卡迪夫领导，并需要多波长跟进了解;（B）支持新的毫米仪器的可用性和（c）继续使用亚毫米相机APEX和SMA进行调查的尘埃宇宙整个宇宙的历史。

Previous support from STFC through this PATT grant has enabled Cardiff astronomers to carry out their PI and co-I duties for observing programmes including SCUBA-2 and HARP on JCMT, UKIRT, MMT, ATCA and MOPRA. This support has been crucial in supporting Cardiff's active research goals, ranging from characterizing the most distant known objects in the Universe, a full census of star formation activity in the Galactic Plane, gas and dust in nearby galaxies and investigating dark gas in our nearest neighbour, Andromeda. As well as individual PI projects, Cardiff are also active members of many JCMT Legacy programmes including the JCMT Cosmology Legacy Survey (CLS), SASSY, the Galactic Plane Survey (JPS) and the Gould Belt Survey. Here we propose for continued support to enable Cardiff astronomers to (a) exploit the many Herschel projects which Cardiff leads and require multi-wavelength follow up to understand; (b) support availability of new millimetre instrumentation and (c) continue the use of submillimetre cameras APEX and SMA to carry out investigations of the dusty Universe throughout cosmic history.
