Antarctica Astronomy WS: China-Japan Meeting

This workshop is designed to promote exchanges between Japanese and Chinese researchers with a strong interest in Antarctic astronomy. Japanese Antarctic Astronomy Consortium is leading 30-cm submillimeter-wave telescope and 12-m terahertz telescope projects in Dome Fuji station II. China is also planning to construct a terahertz telescope in Dome A (DATE5). Since the observations using the Optical Infrared Telescope in Dome A (AST3) was already performed, China has extensive experience of the Antarctica astronomy. The cooperation between the two countries will be very important in order to establish an international astronomical observatory in Antarctica in the future. Therefore, this workshop will provide an opportunity to exchange information on the activities of Japan and China in Antarctic astronomy.

This workshop will be held as a research meeting of the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR).
