Project Dwarf is a new observing campaign focused on the detection of substellar companions to low-mass (composed of late-type, subdwarf (sd) or/and white dwarf (WD) components) detached eclipsing binaries using minima timing. The crucial condition for the object selection for this campaign is possibility to determine times of the minima with high precision. This is naturally fullfilled for eclipsing binaries with deep and narrow minima or systems hosting a WD component showing fast ingress or egress.
The observing project includes three groups of close eclipsing binaries indicating presence of substellar circum-binary components:
(i) systems with K or/and M dwarf components
(ii) systems with hot subdwarf (sd) and M dwarf components
(iii) systems with white dwarf (WD) component(s).
