The Solaris Project: A Timing Survey For Cricumbinary Planets
Around Eclipsing Binary Stars.

The SOLARIS project aims to detect from the ground circumbinary
planets with the timing of eclipses of eclipsing binary stars.  A
network of four robotic 0.5-m telescopes on three continents
(Australia, Africa and South America) will be established to carry out
high cadence, high precision photometry of a sample of eclipsing
binary stars. Three of the telescopes are already installed and the
fourth one will become operational in the second half of 2013.  The
project's web site is www.projectsolaris.eu/.

This effort is accompanied by our radial velocity (RV) survey for
circumbinary planets which employs our novel iodine cell based technique
tailored to provide very high precision RVs of double-lined binaries.
Altogether these two efforts, targeting about 300 eclipsing binary stars,
constitute the biggest ground based survey for circumbinary planets.
Moreover, we expect that both these efforts will have a significant
impact on the observational stellar astronomy. In particular for at
least half of our sample we expect to deliver masses of the stars with
an accuracy 10-1000 times better than the current state of the art.
