Here we present the first light of the Single Star Scidar (SSS) at Dome C, during January 2005 and the first results obtained during the winter 2006. We recall the SSS principle, how it is designed to resist to very low temperatures and to be adjusted in a very simple way. No exemple of long period of observation can be given since the huge...

Hereafter we give a brief history of our contribution to astronomical site testing in Antarctica, at least for the high angular resolution in the visible range. The decision to undertake the first site testing at South Pole began one year after a congress organized by French Académie des Sciences, in year 1992. Indeed, in 1993 a meeting took...

We present the latest results of our on-going closed-loop "end-to-end" numerical adaptive optics (AO) simulations concerning both a standard-AO and a three-star ground-layer AO system for a near-infrared 2-m class telescope at Dome C, Antarctica. We demonstrate that Dome C is an ideal site for wide-field AO-aided astronomy, define in details...

In this paper we present year-round climatological analysis made from radio-sounding measurements and ECMWF Data. And we end up with a generalized conclusion (scientific aspect) from statistical results of site-testing at Concordia concerning the feasibility of the future astronomical exploitation of Dome C.
