Abstract

Core collapse and thermonuclear supernovae are among the brightest objects in the Universe. However, although we have an ample knowledge of their optical properties, comparatively little is still known in the infrared. Dome C seems to be the best place on Earth for astronomical observations at infrared and submillimeter wavelengths. The telescope IRAIT (International Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope) will be the first European astronomical facility at Dome C, and it is planned to be fully operational by the end of 2008. IRAIT will be equipped with the AMICA camera for near- andmid- infrared imaging and photometry. As a key scientific project with IRAIT, we propose a long term study of near- (K) and mid- (LMNQ) infrared light curves of bright supernovae.
