Description
A CCD photometric study of the dense galactic open cluster M 37 is discussed. The majority of the analysed data have been obtained through an R_C_ filter in order to collect time-series measurements. The observations were carried out on seven nights between December 1999 and February 2000, and have led to the discovery of 7 new variable stars in the field. Three of them have been unambiguously identified as W UMa-type eclipsing binaries, while two more are monoperiodic pulsating stars, most probably high-amplitude {delta} Scuti-type variables. Two stars seem to be long-period eclipsing binaries without firm period determination. The individual light curve data are presented here.
