PATT Linked Grant for observational astrophysics at QUB: 2008 - 2010

我们的提案旨在更新贝尔法斯特女王大学的PATT联系补助金。该奖项将涵盖我们的旅行和生活费用，以STFC和非STFC观测设施。“PATT连系补助金”所涵盖的观测天体物理学研究的主要课题包括：─研究银河系和其他星系中的星族I和演化的OB型恒星; ─研究超新星和恒星演化的末期; ─对太阳大气层和其他冷恒星的大气层进行高时间、空间和光谱分辨率的观测;- 研究太阳系天体，包括彗星和小行星; -天体化学，包括星际云和星周云; -行星状星云研究; -星际介质，特别是高速云的多波长研究; -对SuperWASP仪器探测到的物体进行后续观测。

Our proposal seeks to renew the PATT Linked Grant at Queen's University Belfast. This award will cover our travel and subsistence costs to both STFC and non-STFC observing facilities. The major topics of observational astrophysics research to be covered by the PATT Linked Grant include: - the study of both Population I and evolved OB-type stars in our own and other galaxies; - investigations of supernovae and the end stages of stellar evolution; - high temporal, spatial and spectral resolution observations of the solar atmosphere and those of other cool stars; - studies of solar system bodies, including comets and asteroids; - astrochemistry, including that of interstellar and circumstellar clouds; - investigations of planetary nebulae; - multiwavelength studies of the interstellar medium, in particular high velocity clouds; - followup observations of objects detected by the SuperWASP instrument.
