Queen's University Belfast Consolidated Grant in Solar Physics and Solar System Studies 2017 - 2020

我们的综合补助金汇集了太阳物理学的研究项目，以及由贝尔法斯特女王大学数学与物理学院的工作人员进行的太阳系天体研究。所有这些项目都属于STFC天文学赠款小组的太阳研究（SS）和行星研究（PL）小组的职权范围。该方案是多种多样的，太阳物理学项目涉及从色球层到日冕的太阳大气层的观测和计算研究，特别强调动态事件的高频成像和光谱学，包括波的产生、传播和消散、磁性元素的消除和日全食。关于太阳系天体的项目包括对小行星和彗星/海王星外天体等最原始的天体群进行观测研究-这些天体群保留着关于我们行星系起源和演变的关键信息。我们的观测研究采用了广泛的地面和卫星太阳和天文设施，包括ROSA/HARDcam高节奏太阳成像仪，Pan-STARRS调查，ESO，ING和Gemini望远镜，以及SDO和Hinode卫星。此外，我们使用DiRAC超级计算设施来支持我们的研究方案的计算方面。

Our Consolidated Grant brings together research projects in solar physics, and the study of solar system bodies, undertaken by staff within the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast. All of these projects fall within the remit of the Solar Studies (SS) and Planetary Studies (PL) sub-panels of the STFC Astronomy Grants Panel. The programme is diverse, with the solar physics projects involving observational and computational studies of the solar atmosphere from the chromosphere to the corona, with a particular emphasis on high-frequency imaging and spectroscopy of dynamic events, including wave generation, propagation and dissipation, the cancellation of magnetic elements and total solar eclipses. Projects on solar system bodies include observational studies of asteroids and the most primitive populations such as comets/trans-Neptunian objects - populations that retain key information on the origin and evolution of our planetary system. Our observational research employs an extensive set of both ground- and satellite-based solar and astronomical facilities, including the ROSA/HARDcam high-cadence solar imager, the Pan-STARRS Survey, ESO, ING and Gemini telescopes, and the SDO and Hinode satellites. In addition, we use the DiRAC supercomputing facility to support the computational aspects of our research programmes.
