From the South Pole, microthermal turbulence within a narrow surface boundary layer some 200m thick provides the dominant contribution to the astronomical seeing. We present results for the … seeing at a wavelength of 2.4um. The narrow turbulence layer above the site, confined close to the surface…
Over the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed … conditions that are uniquely favorable for infrared astronomy. In … particular…
We have obtained wide-field thermal infrared (IR) images of the Carina nebula, using the SPIREX/Abu telescope at the … South Pole. Emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.29um, a tracer of photodissociation … regions (PDRs)…
