IRAIT: A Facility for IR Astronomy at Dome C
The IRAIT (International Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope) telescope will be the first European infrared telescope operated on the Antarctic Plateau. The main IRAIT Focal Plane Instrument is AMICA (Antarctic Multiband Infrared CAmera), a two-detector instrument designed to operate in the Near- a...
