AN OFF-AXIS TELESCOPE CONCEPT FOR ANTARCTIC ASTRONOMY
Abstract. The site of the CONCORDIA station at Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau offers exceptional atmospheric and environmental conditions for astronomical observations over a wide range of wavelengths and is uniquely favorable to infrared astronomy. To make the best use of these exceptional environ...
