Thanks Jaime, 

I had not been able to find that specific information bit in the dicumentation

    The bit about specifying the maximum size of a core file produced by
    a job via "coresize" or "core_size" in the submit file is documented
    in the man page for condor_submit.  All the man pages are also in
    the 'Command Reference' section of the manual,  online here:   
    
      
    https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/man-pages/condor_submit.html
      
    Hope this helps,
    Todd

That is expected. If the starter finds a core file, it adds it to the list of output files to transfer.
You can prevent this by requesting that no core file be produced.
Add this to the submit file:
  core_size = 0
