Astrophysics from Antarctica: Proceedings of the 288th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union held in Beijing, China, August 20-24, 2012
The remarkable environment of Antarctica offers many advantages for astronomical observations. Over the past two decades this field of scientific endeavour has developed dramatically and Antarctic-based observatories now regularly contribute to front line astrophysical research. This volume presents...
