Summary: | International audience We present our proposal to develop an imaging optical interferometer at Dome C of Antarctica optimized for both extra-solar planets detection in the thermal infrared and direct astroseismology of nearby stars. The science rationale as well as different steps of technological R&D to make this proposal successful against the adverse conditions of polar nights will be described. |
