Paper II

This is the static Zenodo release for final version of Paper II (Luger et al 2018).

Raw Cadence Data

Tweaks that allow users to run EVEREST on K2 raw cadence data -- useful for the C12 TRAPPIST-1 release.

Version 2.0

This is the all-new, completely re-written version 2.0 of the EVEREST pipeline. Several updates to the de-trending algorithm have been made, and the code is now streamlined to allow support for missions other than K2. EVEREST 2.0 is not backwards-compatible, so check out the previous release for version 1 of the code.

Final v1 release

This is the final v1 release of the code. Use this to interface with the (soon to be deprecated) EVEREST 1.0 catalog.

Minor tweaks

Minor tweaks to the code. Added K2 field of view visualization option. Just type

everest 2

in the command line to bring up an interactive view of the K2 FOV for campaign 2. Double-click a star to bring up its everest light curve!

First public release

The code, paper, light curves, and documentation are all now publicly available.

EVEREST 1.0

EVEREST (EPIC Variability Extraction and Removal for Exoplanet Science Targets) is an open-source pipeline for removing instrumental noise from light curves generated by K2, the repurposed Kepler spacecraft. Operating with only two of four reaction wheels, K2 is unable to maintain the precise pointing precision required to detect the small light modulations caused by transiting exoplanets. EVEREST exploits correlations across the pixels on the Kepler CCD to remove systematics introduced by the spacecraft's pointing error, yielding light curves with precision comparable to that of the original Kepler mission.
