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…
Probing the cosmological 21~cm global signal from the Antarctic ice sheet
Shijie Sun, Jiaqin Xu, Minquan Zhou +7
The redshifted 21 cm line, arising from neutral hydrogen, offers a unique probe into the intergalactic medium and the first stars and galaxies formed in the early universe. However…
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…
