The Antarctic continent offers ideal atmospheric-climatic
conditions for Astronomy and Astrophysics researches at near and
mid-infrared, sub-millimeter and millimeter wavelengths. Moreover many
neutrino and cosmic rays atroparticle physics, and space-weather (sun-earth
interactions) experimetns are placed or planned to be placed in
Antarctica. The Italian (next International) Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope (IRAIT),
which will be
installed on the Antarctica Plateau (at Dome-C
), is a sub-project of the Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in
Antartide (PRNA), led
by the Perugia
University Astronomical Observatory. |
