Description
Summary:this paper, the benefits of an antarctic observatory extend right across the infrared and sub-millimetre. Not only do spectral lines that are otherwise inaccessible become amenable to study, but substantial sensitivity gains can be achieved across almost the entire spectrum. Particularly enticing is the prospect of achieving very high sensitivity infrared images, corrected across a large field of view, at wavelengths that have previously been little studied. For example, SPIREX/Abu has already produced large mosaic images of NGC6334 and the Large Storey, Burton, Ashley
