Antarctic Fiber Optic Spectrometer
. The Antarctic Fiber Optic Spectrometer (AFOS) is one of a suite of instruments of the Automated Astrophysical Site Testing Observatory (AASTO) installed at the South Pole in 1996 December. In 1998, the AFOS will be attached to an altitude-azimuth mount and commence regular astronomical observation...
