Queen's University Belfast Consolidated Grant in Solar Physics and Solar System Studies 2020 - 2023

我们的综合补助金涵盖了贝尔法斯特女王大学数学和物理学院天体物理研究中心的工作人员在太阳物理和太阳系天体研究方面开展的一些研究项目。所有项目都属于STFC天文学补助金小组的太阳研究(SS)和行星研究(PL)小组的职权范围。太阳物理项目涉及从光球层到日冕对太阳大气层的观测和计算研究，主要侧重于小空间尺度上的高节奏成像和动力学事件的光谱。研究课题包括波的产生、传播和耗散，磁场的产生和演化，以及日全食期间的日冕研究。关于太阳系天体的项目包括测量数十万颗小行星的精确亮度和光散射功能，探测小行星碰撞，以及研究遥远彗星的化学组成。

Our Consolidated Grant covers a number of research projects in solar physics, and the study of solar system bodies, undertaken by staff within the Astrophysics Research Centre of the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast. All projects fall within the remit of the Solar Studies (SS) and Planetary Studies (PL) sub-panels of the STFC Astronomy Grants Panel. The solar physics projects involve observational and computational studies of the Sun's atmosphere from the photosphere to the corona, focusing primarily on high cadence imaging and spectroscopy of dynamical events on small spatial scales. Topics for investigation will include wave generation, propagation and dissipation, the generation and evolution of magnetic fields, and the study of the corona during total solar eclipses. Projects on solar system bodies include measuring precise brightness and light scattering functions for hundreds of thousands of asteroids, detecting asteroid collisions, and studying the chemical makeup of distant comets.
