Science programs for a 2-m class telescope at dome C, antarctica: PILOT, the pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope ...
The cold, dry, and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-millimetre wavelengths to be found on the Earth. Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope (PILOT) is a proposed 2 m telescope, to be built a...
