Visitors grant for the Astrophysics Group at Sheffield

我们希望申请PPARC访客资助，以支持谢菲尔德天体物理小组的五名现任工作人员的研究项目：Paul Crowther（热恒星，恒星形成），Richard de Grijs（相互作用和星暴星系中的年轻星团），Vik Dhillon（吸积盘，双星，天文仪器），David Hughes（彗星和太阳系的小天体）和Clive Tadhunter（射电星系，AGN和类星体）。此外，当这项补助金生效时，我们将任命一名新职员，我们也需要在同样程度上支持他的研究（访谈于2005年6月进行）。访客将为谢菲尔德目前正在进行的各种具有国际竞争力的研究项目提供重要的投入；他们也将在该系的科学生活中发挥关键作用。

We wish to apply for a PPARC visitors grant to support the research programmes of the five current staff members in the Astrophysics Group at Sheffield: Paul Crowther (hot stars, star formation), Richard de Grijs (young star clusters in interacting and starburst galaxies), Vik Dhillon (accretion disks, binary stars, astronomical instrumentation), David Hughes (comets and minor bodies of the solar system), and Clive Tadhunter (radio galaxies, AGN and quasars). In addition, when this grant will come into effect, we will have appointed a new member of staff, whose research we also need to support to similar extent (interviews taking place in June 2005). The visitors will provide essential input to the various, internationally competitive research projects currently underway at Sheffield; they will also play a key role in the scientific life of the department.
