Small Telescope Exoplanet Transit Search (STExTS) Transit Candidates in the Open Cluster Dolidze-Dzimsevijli 9 (DD9)

ORAL

Abstract

The STExTs project searched for transit candidates in the open cluster Dolidze-Dzimselshvili 9 in Hercules for 37 nights using a f/2.8 152 mm astrograph. Approximately 11,000 images were obtained, processed, and analyzed for signatures of transits. We will present preliminary candidates and orbital periods.
