Should search EBs for circumbinary planets #25

I know I've mentioned this before, but just to put it down here so we don't forget. Would also be fun to figure out detection efficiency for transiting circumbinary planets...

I have a student, Diana Windemuth, working on this for her dissertation (searching for multiple, shallow transits around EBs using a modified version of QATS). So far she is able to recover the know CBPs, but no new planets yet... Injection & recovery is next!

Another student, Ethan Kruse, has a draft of a paper on a search single-planet transits around CBPs, but he has been distracted by finding planets in Kepler & K2.

Neither has employed the pulse discrimination tests or other clever techniques in peerless.
