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 PS1 PanSTARRS1 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, with simple form interfaces for quick queries and a sophisticated MAST Portal interface that has capabilities of browsing, filtering, plotting, etc.

 

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

Catalog Access Tools

The PanSTARRS catalog is a large database of the objects and measurements of their properties including astrometry, photometry, and morphology. It includes copious metatdata including links to the images that were used for the various object measurements. (Maybe include some stats on catalog/database size here.)

  • Search Forms - cone search and other parameters
  • Cone search service
  • MAST Portal
  • MAST CasJobs
    • PSPS CasJobs (maybe do not describe)

Image Access Tools

The PS1 images are available for the five PS1 filters and for both single epoch observations and for combined multi-epoch stacked images.

  • PS1 PanSTARRS1 Image Cutout Service including color images, JPEG and FITS cutouts, interactive image display, and full image retrievals
  • Search Forms - postage stamp, retrieving full images
  • SIAP service
  • MAST Portal
  • MAST CasJobs
