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对主要国际设施的望远镜时间。总而言之，我们要求43200英镑的预算来支持我们关于系外行星、恒星形成和星系演化的研究计划。特别是，我们要求为以下项目提供资金：-在拉帕尔马的TNG使用新的Harps-North光谱仪进行有保证的时间观测，以确认开普勒任务探测到的系外行星。-作为大型联合体的一部分跟踪微透镜活动，在智利和南非的非STFC批准的望远镜上进行观测-在国际设施使用光学、红外和亚毫米/毫米相机研究恒星和行星形成的初始阶段-确保大型光学/毫米望远镜上的专门数据，以调查星系的详细性质

We request travel and subsistence support in the form of a PATT-linked grant to enable observers in the Astronomy groupat the University of St Andrews to take up telescope time awarded by peer review panels such as PATT, on majorinternational facilities. In total, we ask for a budget of 43200 GBP to support our research programs on exoplanets,star formation, and galaxy evolution. In particular, we ask for funding for the following projects:- to conduct guaranteed time observations with the new Harps-North spectrograph at the TNG in La Palma, to confirm exoplanets detected by the Kepler mission. - to follow-up microlensing events as part of large-scale consortia, with observations carried out at non-STFC approved telescopes in Chile and South Africa- to study the initial stages of star and planet formation using optical, infrared and submm/mm cameras at international facilities- to secure specialised data on large optical/mm telescopes to investigate the detailed properties of galaxies
