Near—infrared sky brightness monitor for the South Pole
The antarctic plateau has the potential for being the best site on Earth for conducting astronomical observations from the near-infrared to the sub-millimeter. Particular gains are expected in the 1 to 5 micron region, where the high altitude, low water vapour content, and low thermal emission from the atmosphere combine to create observing conditions unequalled elsewhere on the surface of the ...

متن کاملHigh Resolution Radar Polarimetric Observations of the Lunar South Pole
Introduction: NASA's exploration plans for the Moon are being driven at least in part by the possibility that there may be exploitable deposits of water ice at the lunar south pole. Whether the elevated hydrogen abundance measured by Lunar Prospector corresponds to water ice and, if so, in what form is still a matter of conjecture. Bi-static radar observations with the Clementine orbiter are pu...
متن کاملOperation of the Near Infrared Sky Monitor at the South Pole
The near infrared sky spectral brightness has been measured at the South Pole with the Near Infrared Sky Monitor (NISM) throughout the 2001 winter season. The sky is found to be typically more than an order of magnitude darker than at temperate latitude sites, consistent with previous South Pole observations. Reliable robotic operation of the NISM, a low power, autonomous instrument, has been d...
متن کاملThe Interpretation of Near-Infrared Star Counts at the South Galactic Pole
We present new deep K ′ counts of stars at the South Galactic Pole (SGP) taken with the NAOJ PICNIC camera to K =17.25. Star–galaxy separation to K =17.5 was accomplished effectively using image profiles because the pixel size we used is 0.509 arcsec. We interpret these counts using the SKY (Cohen 1994) model of the Galactic point source sky and determine the relative normalization of halo-to-d...
