Special Session SS30
24 June 2019
Antarctica provides unique conditions on Earth to explore the universe thanks to its extremely cold environment, ultra-clear polar ice, exceptional atmospheric conditions, low content of precipitable water, and uninterrupted night. Several astronomical experiments have been installed at the summit of high plateaus, at the South Pole, or on the coast. They cover a broad range of wavelengths and topics from cosmic microwave background to optical and infrared surveys, to cosmic rays and neutrinos. These experiments share similar environment and logistics and face similar technical challenges. This Special Session aims at gathering astronomers using Antarctica as a platform and those interested in doing so to share about their experience, results, and ideas, and at informing the community about the Antarctic opportunity for astronomy.
