This dataset comprises the stellar calibrator catalogues and figures generated during the master's thesis project "Building the stellar calibrator catalogue for the Ariel mission" by Elena Tonucci (TU Delft, SRON). The four catalogues ("EChO list", "Catalogue 1", "Catalogue 2", and "Ariel Catalogue") are *.csv files comprising a list of stellar calibrator candidates with information on the stars including, for example, identifiers from different space missions, sky coordinates, stellar properties like mass, radius, effective temperature, magnitudes, metallicity, distance, quantities computed from the corresponding TESS light curves, and others. The purpose of these catalogues is to define a set of stable stellar calibrators to perform the in-flight flux calibration of ESA's Ariel mission. A *.zip folder comprises a figure (*.png) for each star in the so-called "Catalogue 2" showing a light curve time series of that star as observed by TESS, and the corresponding Lomb-Scargle Periodogram. These figures are helpful in displaying the flux variability of the stellar calibrator candidates.

DATA - under embargo
The files in this dataset are under embargo until 2024-09-21.
Reason
The thesis was performed in collaboration with the research institute SRON and contains some elements of private communication with other institutes as well. The work is intended to be published in the form of a paper or technical note for ESA's Ariel mission, so a certain embargo time is required.
