The Antarctic Planet Interferometer and the potential for interferometric observations of extrasolar planets from Dome C Antarctica

We present a concept for the Antarctic Planet Interferometer (API) and discuss the improvements in interferometric detection and characterization of extrasolar planets by exploiting the unique potential of the best accessbile site on Earth for thermal infrared interferometry.
