Scientific paper

The SWEEPS (Sagittarius Window Eclipsing Extrasolar Planet Search) project used the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard HST to continuously monitor a rich stellar field in the Galactic bulge for 7 days during Feb 23-29, 2004. The SWEEPS field contains about 245,000 stars down to V 29. The principal aim of this project was to detect transiting planets, but the dataset is also ideal for detecting short-period eclipsing binaries. We detected about 165 eclipsing binaries with periods ranging from 0.2 to 5 days; the physical properties of these eclipsing binaries will be presented.
