The 2012 report from the National Science Foundation highlights significant advancements in Antarctic astronomy and astrophysics research. Key projects include the successful operation of the IceCube Observatory, which exceeded performance expectations, and groundbreaking discoveries regarding the early Universe's structure. The report emphasizes ongoing support and collaborations, such as the NASA-NSF partnership, and discusses challenges like budget constraints and the need for better integration with national astronomy investments. The anticipated future of projects like the South Pole Telescope and IceCube's next steps are also detailed.

  1. Astronomy & Astrophysics in Antarctic 2012AAAC 11 May 2012Scott BorgDivision of Antarctic SciencesOffice of Polar ProgramsNational Science Foundation

  2. ANT and PHY partnership, with international partners Observatory Complete, M&O and Science are underway Detector functioning better than anticipated GRB's are not the neutrino engines of existing models Support thru FY14 - major review in a year IceCube Initial 5 year SZE survey completed - many discoveries CMB constraints on re-ionization Exciting discoveries of structure of the early Universe Support thru FY13 - proposal for new work expected South Pole Telescope Significant constraint on Inflation First meaningful constraint on inflationary gravitational wave background from B-mode polarization Current support thru FY13, renewal proposal in review BiCEP, BiCEP2 and SPUD

  3. HEAT at Ridge A TeraHertz, robotic telescope at the Dome A summit Site is 200-km south of Chinese station Kunlun Successful testing; now into THz winter observations US and Australia Support thru FY14 NASA-NSF partnership since 1990; 47 flights Pioneering astrophysics and space physics payloads Agreement thru FY14 (2 more seasons) Anticipate continued interest from NASA Antarctic Long Duration Ballooning

  4. NRC Review of the USAP • OMB requested a high level review • Plan developed and implemented by OSTP and NSF • Part 1: NAS/NRC Review of Science Drivers. Report issued December 2011. • Part 2: Blue Ribbon Panel examining infrastructure: Is USAP structured appropriately to address the science drivers anticipated in the NRC report. Report anticipated July 2012. • Includes consideration of international and interagency partnerships.

  5. Challenges • Many opportunities - too many? • Stagnant budgets and increasing costs. • Better integration/partnerships and priority setting with other national investments in astronomy? • SPT after current project - what next? • - Transition to multi-user telescope? • IceCube M&O recompetition in FY15 – what next?
