This page assumes you have read the Finding cluster members article.

The IC 2118 team has embarked on a campaign to monitor some of the candidate TTauri stars that we found using Spitzer data. They are using ground-based telescopes to see if the stars vary.

This page will be filled out more with general information about the project, but you can watch them work here.

raw data to practice with (data taken by Mr. Spuck and students) - images on which you can measure photometry.

luisa's light curves (data taken by R. Makidon and used by Luisa for part of her thesis - just the reduced photometry time series from many 100s of images, for ~5000 stars. Read the "readme.txt" file in order to understand what you are looking at.
