Abstract: |
Old open clusters, located in the disk of the galaxy, are useful tools in understanding stars at all stages of evolution. In this work, we present a variability study of the old open cluster NGC 2141. We used the WIYN 0.9m telescope to photometrically monitor the cluster during November 2004 - December 2005. Here we present initial results of our study: of the 100 candidate variables two have been confirmed to be Algol eclipsing binaries. Future work includes determining the nature of variability for the rest of the candidates. |
