| Research Abstract |
In order to perform transit observations of exo-planets at Antarctica, we developed 40cm infrared telescope and camera. The instruments were deployed at Dome Fuji station of National Institute of Polar Research. In addition, the stage of 9m height was constructed, on which astronomical conditions were observed. We obtained the smallest seeing size ever taken at good astronomical sites. The results were published in main journals and were presented at the Astronomical Society of Japan.
