Description This award is limited to covering the cost of travel to and subsistence at international observatories where astronomical data are obtained. The data are fed into the research funded by STFC and other funders. The main research outcomes are reported as appropriate against the main research awards.
Exploitation Route The research findings supported by the observations obtained are published in the refereed literature, and inform our outreach and education activities.
