CSI 2264 Object Table Column Descriptions
Overview
The Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264 (CSI 2264) photometrically monitored the star-forming region NGC 2264 for 30+ days starting
in December 2011. It constitutes a unique cooperative effort including 15 ground- and space- based telescopes. It was conceived of in the process
of executing the Young Stellar Object Variability (YSOVAR) project (Morales-Calderon et al. 2011;
L. Rebull 2014, submitted), and involves many of
the same people and processing approach. These projects are exploring the variability properties of young stars in several young clusters at an
unprecedented combination of cadence, photometric precision, and wavelength coverage, particularly in the infrared.
The CSI 2264 project performed photometric monitoring of young NGC 2264 cluster members using the Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC; Fazio et al. 2004)
and the Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits satellite (CoRoT; Baglin et al. 2006) simultaneously. Thirteen other telescopes monitored the
region at different times concurrently with (or closely in time to) the primary Spitzer and CoRoT joint campaign.
The CSI 2264 project is described in detail in Cody et al. (2014).
Table 1 contains one line per object, and covers all of the objects in the greater NGC 2264 region, not just those that have light curves or are
members. As these objects are in the Monoceros region, we have adopted the prefix CSIMon (note that the space between CSI and Mon, as included in Cody et al. 2014, is now omitted).
There are 38 columns in this table, described below. Each of these values included in this table have a single value per object, such as RA or Dec.
Light curve morphologies (columns 37-38) are only provided if published by Cody et al. (2014). This omits most stars lacking infrared excesses.
