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20.500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。我们特别要求为下列项目提供资金：--进行有保证的时间观测以确认新的系外行星--参与通过微透镜发现系外行星的活动--在国际设施中使用光学、红外和亚毫米/毫米相机研究恒星和行星形成的初始阶段-确保大型光学望远镜上的数据，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 20.500 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 to confirm new exoplanets- to participate in campaigns to discover exoplanets by microlensing- to study the initial stages of star and planet formation using optical, infrared and submm/mm cameras at international facilities- to secure data on large optical telescopes to investigate the detailed properties of galaxies
