Abstract

In the era of staggering Kepler data and sophisticated approach of the automatic analysis, how obsolete are the traditional object-by-object multiwavelength photometric observations? Can we apply the new tools of classification, light curve modeling and timing analysis to study the newly detected or/and most interesting EBs or to detect circumbinary bodies? In this paper, we present the contribution of “Mythodea” Observatory University of Patras to DWARF project that promises additional useful science of binary stars within an extensive network of relatively small to medium-size telescopes with apertures of ∼20–200 cm.
