Description
In 2005 a photometric observation campaign started on the open cluster
χ Persei, involving 13 telescopes spread over the whole northern
hemisphere. After two years we gathered almost 1200 hours of data. We
present here preliminary results on the variability search, especially
from the 60-cm telescope in Bialków (Poland), which show seven
confirmed β Cephei stars, four candidate B-type pulsators and other
interesting variable stars.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
