Infrared Surveys from Antarctica
Abstract The very low background observed from Antarctica in a window from about 2·25 to 2·45 μ m can be exploited as a way of making deep near-IR surveys over wide areas of sky. Imaging surveys using the entire window can cover large areas of sky to limits of around K = 20, and can be used to study...
