Characterization of eclipsing binaries in High Latitude Field 356

Abstract Variable stars in HLF 356 identified from plates taken at Harvard Observatory southern station in the 1930s are characterised using data from the ASAS, SuperWASP and Catalina Sky Survey databases. Very little work has been done on these variables since their discovery. Their periods are determined, and light curves for these stars are presented, from which their classification is determined.
