Descripción
We present results of the international collaboration ``TEP'' aimed at
monitoring photometrically the eclipsing binary CM Draconis in search
for circumbinary planets. Planetary companions with more than ~2 earth
radii should produce detectable occultations at the accuracy of our
measurements. The observations started in spring 1994 and are still
continuing with the participation of the following observatories: Haute
Provence (France), Kouvovka (Russia), Lick (USA), La Palma (Spain),
Rochester (USA), Skinakas (Greece), Taejon (Korea), Teide (Spain) and
Wise (Israel). We have obtained a homogeneous dataset based on a common
set of reference stars. So far, we have obtained some 1,000 hours of
effective integration time on CM Dra. The analysis of the 1994-96
observations is complete, and list of about 20 events in the lightcurve
has been obtained. These are being evaluated for their compatibility
with possible planetary transits. Observations will be taken in 1997
again, to determine periodicities among these events.
