The PLATO Dome A site-testing observatory: Power generation and control systems Review of Scientific Instruments, 2009 (Ref: 14018)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The atmospheric conditions above Dome A, a currently unmanned location at the highest point on … the Antarctic plateau, are uniquely suited to astronomy. For certain types of astronomy Dome A is … likely to be the best location on the planet…

Overcoming the boundary layer turbulence at Dome C: ground-layer adaptive optics versus tower Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2009 (Ref: 14017)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The unique atmospheric conditions present at sites such as Dome C on the Antarctic plateau are … very favorable for high spatial resolution astronomy. At Dome C…

Snodar: An acoustic radar for atmospheric turbulence profiling with 1m resolution Acoustics Australia, 2009 (Ref: 14016)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Snodar is a 5 kHz monostatic acoustic radar designed to measure the atmospheric turbulence within the first 200 m of the … atmosphere with a vertical resolution of 1 m. An in situ calibration target is used to give absolute intensity calibration.

The Science Case for PILOT II: the Distant Universe Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2009 (Ref: 14014)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau.
