Associate Scientist for the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre

建立XMM-牛顿巡天科学中心是为了确保广大科学界能够充分利用欧洲航天局的基石XMM-牛顿X射线天文台的观测科学潜力。该中心是一项由联合王国领导的欧洲活动，正在为用户开发软件，并对来自XMM-牛顿卫星的所有数据进行初步处理，正在进行初步处理，正在编制全面的X射线源目录，并正在开展一项后续识别方案，利用地面光学望远镜促进可从大量X射线源样本中获得的科学研究。因此，SSC对使命的成功至关重要。Worrall教授是XMM-牛顿SSC团队的成员，担任副科学家。这一申请要求为她履行职责提供必要的资源，其中包括就数据产品和X射线识别活动向开发小组提供独立咨询意见。申请的差旅费和生活津贴将使她能够通过参加科学咨询小组和X射线鉴别工作组的半年期会议与小组成员进行互动。

The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) was established to ensure that the scientific potential of observations using the European Space Agency's cornerstone XMM-Newton X-ray observatory can be exploited fully by the broad scientific community. The SSC is a European UK-led activity that is developing software for users and for the initial processing of all data from the XMM-Newton satellite, is undertaking that initial processing, is creating comprehensive X-ray source catalogues, and is undertaking a follow-up identification programme using ground-based optical telescopes to facilitate the science that can be obtained from large samples of X-ray sources. The SSC is thus vital to the success of the mission. Professor Worrall is a member of the XMM-Newton SSC team in the capacity of Associate Scientist. This application requests the necessary resources for her to fulfil her responsibilities, which include providing independent advice to the development team concering the data products and X-ray identification activities. The travel and subsistence requested will allow her to interact with team members through participation in the semi-annual meetings of the Science Advisory Group and X-ray Identification Working Group.
