A Next Generation Deep 2 micron Survey: Reconnoitering the Dark Ages

The next generation 2 micron sky survey should target nascent galaxies in the epoch of reionization for spectroscopic followup on large telescopes. A 2.5 metre telescope at a site on the antarctic plateau has advantages for this purpose and for southern hemisphere infrared surveys generally. : SCAR...
