Description
Summary:This paper presents the conclusions of the working group for stellar physics observations at the Dome-C station in Antarctica. It summarizes the advantages of Dome-C for asteroseismology and stellar activity, identifies strategies and possible instrumental projects to be conducted there, and concludes with recommendations for the development of stellar observations. The conclusions are based on the fact that continuous observations over several weeks or months without breaks due to the diurnal cycle are fundamental for programs of stellar physics and especially for asteroseismology and stellar activity. Therefore, Dome-C appears to be a unique ground-based site offering ideal conditions for continuous observations.
