Optimising the K dark filter for the Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey

The Kunlun Infrared Sky Survey will be the first comprehensive exploration of the time varying Universe in the infrared. A key feature in optimizing the scientific yield of this ambitious research program is the choice of the survey passband. In particular the survey aims to maximally exploit the un...
