eclipsing binaries

PTF Mdwarfs

Discipline: 
Country: 
We propose a PTF project to detect eclipsing M-dwarf binaries and M-dwarf planetary transits in R-band PTF data. No modifications at all are needed to the PTF observing strategy. The survey will target cool stars (initially within the Dynamic Cadence (DyC) fields, but also the 5-day cadence eventually) searching for stellar eclipses and planetary transits.
