Site testing Dome A, Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12899)
Authors:
Lawrence J.S.Ashley M.C.B.Burton M.G.Cui X.Everett J.R.Indermuehle B.T.Kenyon S.L.Luong-Van D.Moore A.M.Storey J.W.V.Tokovinin A.Travouillon T.Pennypacker C.Wang L.York D.
Category 3: Conference paper

Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy.

Nigel and the optical sky brightness at Dome C, Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12898)
Authors:
Kenyon S.L.Ashley M.C.B.Everett J.Lawrence J.S.Storey J.W.V.
Category 3: Conference paper

The brightness of the night sky at an astronomical site is one of the principal factors that determine the quality … of available optical observing time. At any site the optical night sky is always brightened with airglow, zodiacal … light, integrated starlight…

Ground-layer turbulence profiling using a lunar SHABAR Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12897)

Moore A.Aristidi E.Ashley M.Busso M.Candidi M.Everett J.Kenyon S.Lawrence J.Luong-Van D.Phillips A.Le Roux B.Ragazzoni R.Salinari P.Storey J.Taylor M.Tosti G.Travouillon T.
Category 3: Conference paper

Profiling the ground layer turbulence for daytime seeing applications using an array of photodiodes has been documented … in literature, in particular by Beckers who coined the term “SHABAR” for the instrument, short for Shadow Band … Ranger.

The Gattini cameras for optical sky brightness measurements in Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12896)
Authors:
Moore A.Aristidi E.Ashley M.Busso M.Candidi M.Everett J.Kenyon S.Lawrence J.Luong-Van D.Phillips A.Le Roux B.Ragazzoni R.Salinari P.Storey J.Taylor M.Tosti G.Travouillon T.
Category 3: Conference paper

The Gattini cameras are two site testing instruments for the measurement of optical sky brightness, large area cloud … cover and auroral detection of the night sky above the high altitude Dome C site in Antarctica. The cameras have been in … operation since January 2006.

Atmospheric scintillation at Dome C, Antarctica: implications for photometry and astrometry Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2006 (Ref: 12858)
