CSI2264 CoRoT: Light Curves for Young Stars in NGC 2264 Cluster

The CSI 2264 project performed simultaneous photometric monitoring of young stellar members in the NGC 2264 cluster using the Spitzer IRAC and CoRoT satellite. This table contains CoRoT light curves for objects very likely to be NGC 2264 members, with many epochs of data per object across 9 columns. The project is described in Cody et al. (2014) and the data is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze stellar rotation and variability patterns based on multi-epoch photometric light curves.
• Identify and classify young stellar object types based on the included light curve type flags.
• Study disk accretion and circumstellar material using the IRAC excess flag for candidate members.
• Perform time-series analysis on cluster members monitored by the CoRoT satellite.

Strengths

• Data originates from a coordinated multi-telescope campaign including the Spitzer and CoRoT satellites.
• Includes 9 columns with duplicated key flags (IRAC excess, light curve type) for user convenience.
• Project methodology and membership criteria are detailed in the referenced paper Cody et al. (2014).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal and instrumental bias inherent to the specific CoRoT and Spitzer campaign.
