Abstract

Four site testing campaigns have already been conducted at Dome Cduring the local summers. A very reasonable extrapolation of theknowledge acquired on the atmospheric properties shows that broadband photometry could be exploited there for developingasteroseismology of many pulsating stars, including the solar-typeones, despite their very small oscillation amplitudes. This paperfocuses more specifically on the usual limiting factor inphotometry which is the scintillation.
