Travel support for Edinburgh PATT observers 2012-2014

Lead Research Organisation: University of Edinburgh
Department Name: Sch of Physics and Astronomy

Abstract

We request a continued roll-forward of our PATT grant (ST/H008594/1), for support for telescope travel and subsistence at the existing level of £12000 per year.
This funding level matches well to the actual spend-rate for the current grant. With the SCUBA2 legacy survey observing now commencing, our PATT funding
requirements are unlikely to decrease in the next 2-3 years, and may even grow further.

Description This grant funded travel and subsistence for observations to be carried out at world-leading telescopes around the globe. These observations, and their analysis funded through other grants, have led to a wide range of new astrophysics discoveries.
Exploitation Route The data are being analysed as part of other grants. Some of the observations are for public surveys which will be used by a wide range of astronomers.
