PATT Support for Ground Based Astronomy at the University of Birmingham

这项拨款将使伯明翰大学的天文学家能够前往世界各地的地面望远镜进行一系列迷人的科学研究。在一个项目中，我们将研究太阳系外行星的形成，而在其他项目中，我们将研究层次结构形成与这些结构中形成的星系之间的关系。我们还将寻找宇宙中第一代恒星的局部遗迹，并收集潮汐破裂事件，超新星和其他令人兴奋的瞬态现象的数据。

This grant is to enable astronomers at the University of Birmingham to travel to a range of ground based telescopes around the world to do a range of fascinating science. In one project, we will be investigating the formation of planets outside our solar system, while in other projects we will be investigating the relationship between hierarchical structure formation and the galaxies formed within those structures. We will also be searching for local remnants of the first generation of stars in the Universe and collect data on tidal disuprtion events, supernova and other exciting transient phenomena.
