This tutorial will show you how to create a cutout of TESS full frame images using the web-based TESSCut interface. We will be creating a cutout of the target Pi Mensae using the target name resolver available in the interface. This is a companion to the Python notebook that shows how to conduct a similar cutout request using URL Requests.
Step 1 - Visit The Bulk Downloads Page: The first step is to visit the Bulk Downloads Page for TESS at MAST. Included on this page is a section to download target pixel, light curve, and data validation files by proposal ID (Item #1).
Step 2 - Download The Bulk Download Script: The link at the top of the table (Item #1) points to the Approved Programs list at the TESS Science Support Center (TSSC), which includes all approved programs across all Sectors. The links in the first column (Item #2) will take you to a target list table (text file) at the TSSC, which includes the title, principal investigator, and abstract of the proposal. The links in the third column (Item #3) will download a shell script containing all the cURL commands needed to download the target pixel, light curve, and data validation files for the program across all Sectors.
