Scientific paper

Since the suggestion by Janes 1996 that star clusters might be attractive targets to search for transiting planets, there have been more than 20 searches in both open and globular clusters. To date, no confirmed hot Jupiter transiting planets have been found in clusters. We review the statistics for finding short-period planets and we summarize the open cluster work to date, including our own (so far negative) search in NGC 7789. While individually, the negative results are not surprising, the consistent failure to find planets in clusters may suggest differences in the formation or evolution of planetary systems in clusters.
