The prospects for asteroseismology from ground-based sites.

Abstract (from CDS):
An alternative to a network of telescopes for asteroseismology would be to develop a dedicated observatory for this purpose at a high duty cycle site, i.e., the South Pole. We estimate the scintillation, the main noise source in asteroseismology, at the pole by modeling the index of refraction structure parameter from meterological data. The model results show that at the Pole the variance of the relative intensity fluctuations–i.e., the scintillation–should be a factor of 5 smaller than at at Mauna Kea. Taking into account the improvements possible with target selection and instrumentation, the South Pole would be an excellent site for asteroseismological work on Sun-like stars.
