Asteroseismology after COROT 1st step: photometry, space-based observations 2nd step : spectrometry, ground-based obs. • Complementary observations • Bright stars • Low mass stars • Doppler signal • reduced granulation noise, modes l=3 Scientific specifications: continuous observations, longduration ARENA workshop
SIAMOIS at Dome C ARENA workshop
Scientific program Observable targets with SIAMOIS and a 40-cm telescope dedicated to the project COROT • 40-cm telescope: • - 7 targets, type: F, G, K class: IV & V - many red giants; d Scuti (v sin i < 20 km/s) • Scientific programme for more than 6 winterings ARENA workshop
Overall description • Divided in four sub-systems : • A dedicated Telescope with its Bonnette (telescope guiding and fiber coupling). • An Interferometer and a Camera. • A structure for thermal and mechanical control. • A command/control software system. • Divided in five laboratories : • GIGT from OMP (Observatoire Midi-Pyrennée). • LUAN from OCA (Observatoire Côte d’Azur). • IAS (Institut d’Astrophysique Spatiale). • LESIA from OPM (Observatoire Paris-Meudon). • CSIC from Institutode Astrofisica de Andalusia (in discussion). • One associated private contractor : • SESO (Société Européenne de Systèmes Optiques).

Instrument • 40-cm telescope low cost, easy ‘antarctization’, dedicated to the projet • Interferometer monolithic instrument • no moving part, reduced size • fiber fed • Post-dispersion efficiency, photon noise limited performances ARENA workshop
The constraints. • Small budget and short planning… • High reability of the instrument : • Observation requirements : 90% of duty cycle. • Very difficult to fix anything at Dome C in Antarctica. • Very easy to use : • Not easy set-up at Dome C in Antarctica (once again :-) ). • Wintering will insure a minimal maintenance. • Rather hard environmental conditions : • Shocks and temperature (level and gradient) during transportation and storage. • Temperature, humidity and pressure during operation. ARENA workshop
Planning • 2004 • design • Achievement of the feasibility phase. • 2006 • thermo-mechanical analysis • Qualification tests. • 2007 • PDR • FDR • 2008 • integration • 2009 • tests • summer campaign: Dome C • 2010 • - first winterover at Dome C • Laboratories: LESIA (Obs. Paris), IAS (Orsay), LUAN (Nice), LATT (Toulouse) + SESO SIAMOIS Interferometer JP Amans, GEPI, Obs Paris Coast : 860 k€ Including ANR : 460 k€ For phase A in 2006 (ACI + CSA + PNPS) : 116 k€ ARENA workshop
Development Philosophy • Step I : Establish all the requirements of the sub-systems and the interfaces between them. • Step II : Develop the test benches and equipments, write the invitation to tender for the industrial contractors. • Step III : Develop the sub-systems (industries and laboratories) or buy them directly when possible (budget and specifications). • Step IV : Individual acceptance of each sub-systems. • Step V : Environmental qualification. • Step VI : Integration of the sub-systems together up to the instrument level. • Step VII : End-to-end test in laboratory and on the sky, final setup. • Step VIII : After transportation to Dome-C, simple integrity test. • Some revue are foreseen during the project development. • Like “space instrument” development : quality, management of configuration, documentation, revues… with limitations!
