Everett is a member of the team working to produce a photometric and astrometric catalog of sources in the field to be targeted by NASA's Kepler Mission. Kepler is a space-based mission to detect the transits of terrestrial-sized extra-solar planets through continuous photometric monitoring of more than 100,000 target stars. The Kepler Input Catalog will provide coverage for an area of 177 square degrees and contain accurate positions, surface gravities, temperatures, metallicities, and reddening for a few million potential target stars. Much of the data relies on new ground-based 5-filter photometry taken at the Whipple Observatory 48-inch telescope. Everett's primary work is in the image reduction, photometry, and astrometry. An final version of the catalog is in preparation.
Everett continued with work on wide-field high precision stellar photometry. An observing project to detect variable stars and transiting planets in the open cluster NGC6811 and parts of the Kepler field using the Burrell Schmidt telescope of Case Western Reserve University continued.
Everett has continued follow-up high-precision photometry of eclipsing/transiting variables using the 48-inch telescope at Whipple Observatory. The target stars are supplied and observed in cooperation with various groups operating wide-field transit surveys on smaller telescopes and include known transiting planets, candidate transiting planets, and binaries containing M dwarfs.
