| Organisation | Simons Observatory |
| Country | Chile |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Management, science and data analysis. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This grant brings the SO:UK collaboration into formal existence. Further, several members of Imperial Astrophysics are members of the broader (international) Simons Observatory. (Jaffe, Clements, Contaldi) We sit on various working groups, in particular the measurement of B-mode polarization using the Small Aperture Telescope, as well as the group preparing for the analysis of SO data to detect and characterise transient (time-domain) phenomena. We also have variour management responsibilities within SO:UK and SO. |
