Ground-Based Detection of Terrestrial-Sized Extrasolar Planets Around Small Eclipsing Binary Systems
We have photometrically searched the circumstellar habitable zone (about 95 eclipsing binary system CM Draconis for evidence of planetary transits. With 1014 hours of imaging data we have reached a detection limit of about 2.3 Earth radii (less than 1 60 days or less, marginally demonstrating that the ground-based detection of large terrestrial
