Methods available Currently the primary access to the PanSTARRS catalog is through database queries using the MAST CasJobs interface, and the primary access to the PS1 images is through the PanSTARRS Image Cutout Service. There is also a VO-compatible cone search interface for simple positional searches. Both catalogs and image interfaces can be used from with scripts. In the future other methods will be added for retrieving PanSTARRS images and catalogs include capabilities that range from , with simple form interfaces for quick queries to full database access using Structured Query Language (SQL) for large, long-running queries. There are tools suitable for interactive use, including the and a sophisticated MAST Portal interface that has capabilities of browsing, filtering, plotting, etc. There are also programmatic interfaces that can be used from within scripts. |
