PATT Linked Grant for the Durham Astrophysics Group 2014-16
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.

| Description | The award of funds to travel to telescopes that this grant enabled allowed Durham astronomers to make a number of significant new discoveries in the properties of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and AGN over a wide range in distance from the Milky Way. These ranged from sub-mm surveys with the JCMT and the SCUBA-2 instrument on Hawaii, using a new instrument KMOS, on the VLT in Chile. developed in Durham, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array in Australia as well as optical and sub-mm telescopes in Europe and the Canary Islands. In addition we have contributed to the imaging surveys required for the DESI survey using the Kitt Peak 4m telescope. |
| Exploitation Route | The sub-mm surveys have a wide impact as the SCUBA-2 instrument is unique and the sources detected are being followed up by Durham astronomers and others with ALMA and many other optical, NIR and radio telescopes. The new DESI survey has now started full operations and the some of the recent runs were to cover the imaging survey required for target selection and have been vital. |
| Sectors | Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software),Education |
| Description | The observations performed in the 2014-2016 period were heavily weighted to our involvement in the SCUBA-2 Legacy Surveys that have resulted in many direct papers and papers from follow-up observations particularly with ALMA, |

| 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 are\ n't doing enough of it. The public appreciation of astronomy in the North East is higher than it would be without our work. |
