Cardiff PATT Travel Grant

在我们目前的PATT关联补助金中，我们在2016年4月至2018年4月期间共获得了32,592英镑。我们目前已经花费了这笔拨款的72%，预计在当前赠款期结束时将花费100%。在此，我们要求略微增加42,242英镑的拨款，以支持卡迪夫在下一时期的实质性观察计划。这一要求是合理的：(i)卡迪夫天文学家在领导和支持JCMT遗产调查方面发挥了越来越大的作用；（ii）继续努力领导两个有关IRAM 30m的保证时间节目；（iii）卡迪夫在LMT上使用新仪器的新研究机会；（iv）卡迪夫观测天文学工作人员人数持续（甚至略有增加）。

In our current PATT Linked Grant we were awarded a total of £32,592 for the period 04/2016-04/2018. We have currently spent 72% of this allocation and expect to have spent 100% by the time the current grant period ends. Here we request a slightly expanded allocation of £42,242 to support Cardiff's substantial observing programmes in the next period. This request is justified by: (i) an increasing role played by Cardiff astronomers in leading and supporting JCMT legacy surveys; (ii) a continued effort in leading two guaranteed time programmes on the IRAM 30m; (iii) new research opportunities for Cardiff to use new instrumentation on the LMT; (iv) a sustained (even slightly increased) number of Cardiff observational astronomy staff.
