📣 Help Shape the Future of UKRI's Gateway to Research (GtR)

We're improving UKRI's Gateway to Research and are seeking your input! If you would be interested in being interviewed about the improvements we're making and to have your say about how we can make GtR more user-friendly, impactful, and effective for the Research and Innovation community, please email gateway@ukri.org.

Project support for WASP (Keele), supplement.

Lead Research Organisation: Keele University
Department Name: Institute Env Physical Sci & App Maths

Abstract

The WASP project is current the world's most successful search for transiting exoplanets. This bridging application requests funds to continue operating the WASP-South facility and thus continue discovering new transiting extrasolar planets.
