Abstract:

Physics is a fundamental science, which deals with the principles and the laws that give the behavior of nature and its constituents. New experimental technique can be proposed in this field. Considering new opportunities for the conduct of observational astronomy across both the photon and particle spectrum “possible astronomical projects through Antarctic expedition can be carried out as a research topic”. This is a review project that studies the features of Antarctica are studied as the best ground based location for astronomy and analyses the most suitable atmospheric window for astronomical practices from earth based locations. Different astronomical practices from Antarctica are studied like infrared astronomy, Sub millimeter wave astronomy, Neutrino detection etc. In this review work the experimental possibility of infrared astronomy is analyzed in detail and the suitable science cases are discussed.
