PATT Travel for Oxford University

Lead Research Organisation: University of Oxford
Department Name: Oxford Physics

Abstract

The application seeks funds to cover the cost of travel and subsistence from astronomers from Oxford University to work at and acquire data from telescopes around the world in order to make observations of stars, galaxies and quasars and further explore the Universe.

Description The grant has enabled discoveries about the Universe through observations of stars, galaxies, supernovae and planets. The findings have been published in peer-reviewed journals.
Exploitation Route Scientists make use of the findings by devising new theories of the universe that match the observations, and by devsing new observations to further test those theories. The observations are also used in public talks and events.
