We get all objects within 0.2 degree of RA=334.0 and Dec=0.0 which have mean magnitudes in griz (i.e. at least 1 detection in each band that can be used for the mean mag). In addition, we require QfPerfect>0.85 in all bands. We select stars with the difference between Kron and PSF magnitude as described FAQ here.

Note that the search radius is in arcminutes.  This is a recent change in the interface to make the PS1 database functions consistent with those used for SDSS, GALEX, Kepler, the HSC, and other MAST catalogs.

The Kepler Extra-Galactic Survey (KEGS) is a program using the Kepler telescope to search for supernovae, active galactic nuclei, and other transients in galaxies. We have to identify galaxies in a suitable redshift range (z<=0.12) a priori, which will be monitored by K2. Here is an example to get galaxies for Campaign 14. We only select objects with r<=19.5, and we make a cut on (rmeanpsfmag - rmeankronmag)>=0.5 05 in order to remove stars (More info about Star-Galaxy Separation is here). We only want to use objects for which the majority of pixels were not masked, thus the cut on QFperfect>=0.95. We also obtain the petrosian radii in order to be able to select galaxies by size.
