High Elevation Antarctic Terahertz Telescope

High Elevation Antarctic Terahertz Telescope is an infrared telescope.

Also recorded as HEAT.

The 62-centimetre HEAT ( High Elevation Antarctic Terahertz ) telescope at the Ridge A SCAR observatory located at 4050 metres above sea level. HEAT represents a new mode of doing robotic science in Antarctica, installed from a field camp via “deep-field” deployment, with minimal human presence and infrastructure. From Ridge A the THz windows are open for much of the Antarctic winter, with HEAT un

Scholarly footprint

Bibliographic registers publish measured figures for this heading: 1 deposited research records (DataCite Commons). A count of publications is evidence of attention, not of standing, and is given here only as a measure.

Evidence base

This article draws on 3 independent source lineages. Copies and mirrors of the same underlying record were collapsed into a single witness, so 3 means 3 genuinely separate publishers of record. 10 further registers were consulted and returned nothing for this heading.
