and band sky brightness measurements from polar day to polar night at Dome A, Antarctica
Jinji Li, Bin Ma, Haonan Yang +9
The near-infrared (NIR) sky brightness is a fundamental parameter for evaluating the performance of ground-based infrared observatories. Dome~A on the Antarctic plateau offers exce…
Design, Testing, and Commissioning of the Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) 80 cm Infrared Telescope
Zhong-Nan Dong, Bin Ma, Chun Chen +23
The Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) 80 cm telescope is a new generation near-infrared (NIR) facility in China dedicated to time-domain astronomy, while also serving as a testbed for…
Antarctic Infrared Binocular Telescope. I. System Overview, Laboratory Testing, and On-Sky Performance Evaluation
Zhongnan Dong, Bin Ma, Haoran Zhang +5
Infrared time-domain surveys remain significantly underdeveloped compared with their optical counterparts. We have developed the Antarctic Infrared Binocular Telescope (AIRBT) to s…
Preliminary results of sky brightness measurements in near-infrared at Lenghu, China
Jinji Li, Bin Ma, Zhongnan Dong +1
Low sky brightness is crucial for ground-based astronomical observations, because it limits the observational capability to detect fainter sources. Lenghu, located on the Tibetan P…
