Abstract

The Concordia station on the high Antarctic plateau has recently been realized to be the best known ground-based site for infrared interferometry, due to a combination of cold temperatures, dry air, and an atmospheric turbulence more benign than anywhere else. The maximum gains are obtained in the K and L photometric bands, and enable scientific programs (e.g., exploration of the habitable zone) otherwise only accessible from space. In the shorter term, even a simplified interferometer has potential for unique exoplanetary science.
