Australian Working Group for Antarctic Astronomy.

The Australian Working Group for Antarctic Astronomy has been set up by the National Committee for Astronomy to study the scientific potential for conducting astronomy from the Antarctic Plateau. The group is promoting activities, both nationally and internationally, that will facilitate our ability to operate an Antarctic Observatory and maximise the science that can be produced. Currently the major focus is on site testing the Plateau to quantify the limitations to astronomical observations across the spectrum and determine the optimum site for an international observatory.
