The cold, dry, and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-millimetre wavelengths to be found on the Earth....

The history of Astrophysics in Antarctica (2005)

Indermuehle, Balthasar T., Burton, Michael G., Maddison, Sarah T.

We examine the historical development of astrophysical science in Antarctica from the early 20th century until today. We find three temporally overlapping eras, each having a rather distinct...

Factors affecting the realized niche of common sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in ridge-tillage corn (2004)

Michael G. Burton, David A. Mortensen, David B. Marx, John L. Lindquist

Because soil characteristics and weed densities vary within agricultural landscapes, determining which subfield areas are most favorable to weed species may aid in their management. Field and...

and (2004)

Andrew J. Walsh, Philip C. Myers, Michael G. Burton

Recent models of star formation suggest that the mass of a star is largely determined by its history of motion through its natal molecular cloud. Such motions may be observable in the early stages of...

CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/pasa Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2004, 21, 1–8 Submillimeter Site Testing at Dome C, Antarctica (2003)

Paolo G. Calisse, Michael G. Burton, Michael A. Phillips, ...

Abstract: We have developed a 350 µm radiometer to perform automated site testing in remote regions of Antarctica. In summer 2000–2001 the instrument operated at Concordia, a new station under...

Effects of soil and landscape characteristics on the population dynamics of wild Helianthus annuus L (2000)

Burton, Michael G

Since mechanization and chemical herbicides came into wide use, conventional weed management has been uniformly applied to whole fields, both to areas where weeds were present and areas where they...

Infrared and sub-millimetre observing conditions on the antarctic plateau (2000)

Marton G. Hidas, Michael G. Burton, Matthew A. Chamberlain

The Antarctic plateau provides the best terrestrial sites for infrared and sub-millimetre astronomy. In this paper we examine the relative importance of temperature, aerosol content and precipitable...

Science goals for an Antarctic infrared telescope (2000)

Michael G. Burton

Abstract: Over the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed conditions that are uniquely favourable for infrared astronomy. In particular, the exceptionally low sky brightness...

Mid-infrared observing conditions at the South Pole (2000)

Matthew A. Chamberlain, Michael G. Burton, Andre Phillips, Maxime Boccas, ...

The Antarctic plateau is the optimum ground based site for infrared astronomy. Low levels of precipitable water vapour and high altitude combine to improve atmospheric transmission. Lower emissivity...

Looking Deep from the South Pole: Star Formation in the Thermal Infrared 7 (1996)

Michael G. Burton

The Antarctic Plateau provides the pre-eminent conditions on the Earth for widefield imaging at thermal infrared wavelengths. We describe a project to equip the 60 cm SPIREX telescope at the South...
