MSSL PATT linked grant

在接下来的两年里，麻省理工学院天体物理学小组的研究将继续密集利用来自XMM-牛顿、钱德拉和斯威夫特的数据，以研究吸积双星、活动星系核、中子星、恒星形成星系和伽马射线爆发。我们的计划将在2008年随着欧空局Herschel任务的启动而扩大，我们将需要通过地面准备和后续观察来补充我们在该设施上保证的时间。我们的所有研究都依赖于地面观测，以提供多波长扩展或跟踪，以获得完整的科学回报。这项提议是为了延续我们目前的专利技术补助金(PP/D003016/19)，作为与专利技术协定挂钩的赠款，并要求提供旅费，以允许小组成员前往专利技术研究计划和经专利技术转让委员会批准的望远镜进行这些观测。

The next two years of research in MSSL's Astrophysics group will continue the intensive exploitation of data from XMM-Newton, Chandra and Swift to study accreting binaries, AGN, neutron stars, star forming galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. Our programme will be expanding in 2008 with the launch of ESA's Herschel mission, and we will need to compliment our guaranteed time on this facility with ground based preparatory and follow up observations. All of our research is dependent on ground based observations to provide multiwavelength extensions or follow up in order to get the full science return. This proposal is for a continuation of our current PATT grant (PP/D003016/19) as a PATT linked grant, and requests travel funds to allow group members to travel to PATT and PATT-approved telescopes to conduct these observations.
