The starting point for the PS1 data archive is at Pan-STARRS1 data archive home page.


Description: Contains single epoch photometry of individual detections from a single exposure. The identifiers connecting the detection back to the original image and to the object association are provided. PSF, aperture, and Kron (1980) photometry are included, along with sky and detector coordinate positions. References: Kron, R. G. 1980, ApJS, 43, 305.
