Astronomy and Astrophysics from Antarctica
The Antarctic plateau is a new frontier for astronomy, offering superior observing conditions to those of any other groundbased site across most of the electromagnetic spectrum. The established inland Antarctic stations of Amundsen-Scott and Vostok are now being joined by new stations at Dome A, Dome C and Dome F. Plans to deploy large telescopes are already well advanced, and within a decade s...
متن کاملAstronomy & Astrophysics An analysis of temperatures and wind speeds above Dome C , Antarctica
A good astronomical site must fulfill several criteria including low atmospheric turbulence and low wind speeds. It is therefore important to have a detailed knowledge of the temperature and wind conditions of a location considered for future astronomical research. Antarctica has unique atmospheric conditions that have already been exploited at the South Pole station. Dome C, a site located on ...

Hormuz series in Zendan salt dome, Neoprotozoic-Early Cambrian rocks is located near Bandar-e-Lengeh in western Hormozgan Province. In this salt dome, iron calcic skarns are present near the basic igneous bodies that have copper hydrothermal deposits. Carbonate sedimentary sequences, carbonate tuffs and igneous rocks are the host rocks of these skarns. The calcsilicates in the endoskarn include...
متن کاملDome C atmospheric conditions: implications for astronomy
The expectation that exceptional conditions for astronomy would be found at Dome C on the high Antarctic plateau has motivated a coordinated effort by a number of international teams to comprehensively measure the atmospheric conditions at this site. This paper presents an overview of the current status of site testing at Dome C. We discuss the past, present, and planned instrumentation, the ma...
