Scientific paper

The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) has been obtaining data on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope since 2007. Operating in the near-infrared the WTS targets about 6000 M dwarf stars (J<16) over several square degrees of sky close to the galactic plane and aims to find planets, down to the size of the Earth, transiting around M dwarfs. In my talk I will present the goals, processing and follow-up methods of the survey. I will discuss the properties of our target stars and summarize the latest status of our most promising candidates.
