Abstract: Abstract. Preliminary site testing datasets suggest that Dome C in Antarctica is one of the best sites on Earth for astronomical observations in the 200 to 500-μm regime, i.e. for far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre(submm) astronomy. We present an overview of potentialscience cases that could be addressed with a large telescope facility atDome C. This paper also includes a presentation of the current knowledgeabout the site characterics in terms of atmospheric transmission,stability, sky noise and polar constraints on telescopes. Current andfuture site testing campaigns are finally described.

Abstract: Abstract Submillimetre/TeraHertz (e.g. 200, 350, 450 m) astronomy is the prime technique to unveil the birth and early evolution of a broad range of astrophysical objects. A major obstacle to carry out submm observations from ground is the atmosphere. Preliminary site testing and atmospheric transmission models tend to demonstrate that Dome C could offer the best conditions on Earth for submm/THz astronomy. The CAMISTIC project aims to install a filled bolometer-array camera with 1616 pixels on IRAIT at Dome C and explore the 200-m windows for potential ground-based observations.

. (2009). Dome C : the best accessible site on Earth for submillimetre astronomy.
Abstract: The Italian-French station Concordia at Dome C is the perfect site to conduct submillimetre observations.
Site testing started intensively in 2007-2008 and is still in progress. After SUMMIT08, the next step is to determine the stability of sky brightness with CAMISTIC, a bolometer camera, which will be installed on IRAIT, an infrared telescope built at Dome C.
To complete the Herschel Space Observatory and the ALMA interferometer observations, a large telescope facility at Concordia would study in the submillimetre range :
The early evolution of galaxies and the Universe
The formation of stars
The evolution of interstellar matter
The histories of planetary systems
