This page describes the contents of the PanSTARRS-1 database object and detection tables.  These tables have information such as positions, magnitudes, and morphological descriptions for the objects in the PS1 catalogs. They also include time-dependent measurements of those parameters.  Tables with multi-epoch measurements are not included in the DR1 data release and are listed separately.

These descriptions are extracted from the PSPS Schema Browser interface created by the University of Hawaii.  For a high-level overview of the tables, see the PS1 : Source extraction and source catalogs documentation page.

Views in DR1 and DR2

There are a number of views in the Pan-STARRS databases, which are generally cases where there are two related tables that are joined to make a wide table that includes columns from both tables.  Rather than make this page extremely long, we simply list the relevant views below with links to the individual pages that list the columns in those views.

There are also some views that are created because a very large table is broken up into multiple pieces for practical database implementation reasons.  The various chunks of rows are combined together into what looks like a single big table.  An example is the Detection table, which was simply too large to put into a single table.  Those "virtual" tables are listed above with the regular tables because they are never accessed by users as individual tables.  It is a confusing fact that they appear in the MyDB Views tab when exploring the database.
