Scientific paper

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.
