run_make_catalog.py command line utility
Create catalogs of stars in a given TESS observing sector.
Example
In order to create catalogs for sector 14 simple call this program from the command-line like so:
>>> python run_make_catalog.py 14
This will create the catalog files (*.sqlite) corresponding to sector 14
in the directory defined in the TESSPHOT_INPUT
environment variable.
Note
This function requires the user to be connected to the TASOC network at Aarhus University. It connects to the TASOC database to get a complete list of all stars in the TESS Input Catalog (TIC), which is a very large table.
