In 2009
has achieved a huge program

AND THEN ?

Scientific goals
Step 1: photometry in space
For complementary observations: photometry in space / ground based spectrometric observations• Low mass stars• Doppler information (limited granulation noise, l = 3 modes)• Long term variations• Follow up of targets revealed by COROT• Questions raised by COROT…
In the best site for long-duration continuous observations :
at Dome C in Antarctica
• Solar like oscillations• Stellar interior

Step 2 … ground-based spectrometry

Dome C
CW9 - SIAMOIS
Duty cycle > 90 %
during 3 months

Properties at Dome C
• Wintering: full night = 3 months
• Duty cycle: > 90 % (Agabi, 2005)
• Much better performances compared to a network(duty cycle limited to 65%; heavy coordination)
• Conditions similar to space
Properties of Dome C are already OK for asteroseismology~ Space project
Asteroseismology at Dome C:

Strategy for Dome C
2009/2010 Integrated project :+ small telescope+ dedicated Fourier Transform seismometer
2010+ Spectrometer + spectropolarimeter2-m class telescope
• INSU (Astronomy) / Antarctic group:- promotes observations at Dome C- has to identify small size projects to be realized as a first step
• PNPS (Stellar physics): - promotes the rapid development of a dedicated asteroseismometer to be installed at Dome C

• Fourier Transform seismometry: the Doppler signal is deduced from a limited portion of the interferogram of the stellar visible spectrum
• FT seismometry successfully tested with the FTS at CFHT Procyon (Mosser et al. 1998, A&A 340, 457)
• Principle of an instrument dedicated to asteroseismology Photon noise limited performances:
• 2004: faisability - Realisation and test of the only critical subsystem
• 2005: phase A (funded)- Design of the instrument for Antarctic- Integrated project with a small collector- Positive recommendation from the WG of PNPS (stellar physics)
• 2006: end of phase A + phase B- Design of the full instrument ; thermo-mechanical analysis- Prototype, tests….
