Search for young transiting exoplanets within YETI project
Original language description
The Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI) is a project focused on the photometric monitoring of stellar open clusters in order to find new young transiting exoplanets, eclipsing binaries and study other variability phenomena. Here, we present the status of the initiative and plans for future photometric campaigns of three open clusters younger than 50Myr: NGC 869, NGC 884 and IC 4665, by using the world-wide one meter-class telescope network. Based on the experience gained by several astronomical observatories included in this network, dedicated numerical algorithms and recent results obtained during the first observing campaigns, we expect to confirm several young transiting objects: low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets. The photometric precision given for a typical telescope used in this project, allows for transit detection of Jupiter-size planets at close-in orbits with periods up to similar to 30 days and also hundreds of new various variable stars.
