PATT Linked Grant for the Durham Astrophysics Group 2012-14
Lead Research Organisation:
Durham University
Department Name: Physics
Abstract
The Durham observational astronomers are among the most successful at obtaining telescope time at observatories around the world. This grant for travel funds is to ensure that the observers have an administratively simple source of funds to be present at the telescope to execute their observations.

Results and Impact | The outreach activity in Durham is too wide and frequent to make filling in boxes like this feasible. If any group can they they aren't doing enough of it. The public appreciation of astronomy in the North East is higher than it would be without our work. |
