The search for transiting planets using the YETI network

TL;DR

This paper discusses the use of the YETI network to detect transiting planets in young open clusters, reporting initial candidates and ongoing follow-up efforts.

Contribution

First application of the YETI network for detecting transiting planets in young open clusters, identifying initial candidates and initiating follow-up observations.

Findings

Three transiting planet candidates identified

Candidates located in Trumpler 37 and 25 Ori

Follow-up observations are underway

Abstract

To search for young transiting planets in continuous light curves, we monitor young open clusters (2-200 Myr) with the YETI network. Here we report the first transiting candidates (two in Trumpler 37, one in 25 Ori). Follow-up observations of the candidates are partly done.
