A search for eclipsing binaries that host discs
  We search for systems hosting eclipsing discs using a complete sample of eclipsing binaries (EBs); those previously identified in the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III). Within a subsample of 2,823 high-cadence, high-photometric precision and large eclipsing depth detached EBs previously identified in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), we find that the skewness and kurtosis of the light curves magnitude distribution within the primary eclipse can distinguish EBs hosting a disc from those without. Two systems with previously identified eclipsing discs (OGLE-LMC-ECL-11893 and OGLE-LMC-ECL-17782) are identified with near zero skewness ($|S|<0.5$) and positive kurtosis. No additional eclipsing disc systems were found in the OGLE-III LMC, Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) or Galactic Disc (GD) EB light curves. We estimate that the fraction of detached near main-sequence LMC EBs (which have a primary with an $I$-band magnitude brighter than $\simeq 19\,\rm{mag}$) that host a disc is approximately 1/1000. As circumstellar disc lifetimes are short, we expected to primarily find eclipsing discs around young stars. In addition, as there is more room for a disc in a widely separated binary and because a disk close to a luminous star would be above the dust sublimation temperature, we expected to primarily find eclipsing discs in long period binaries. However, OGLE-LMC-ECL-17782 is a 13.3 day period B star system with a transient and hot ($\sim 6000\,\rm{K}$, $\sim 0.1\,\rm{AU}$ radius) disc and Scott et al. (in prep.) estimate an age of $150\,\rm{Myr}$ for OGLE-LMC-ECL-11893. Both discs are unexpected in the EB sample and impel explanation.
