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.
Use Heading 1 for main sections, 2 for the next level down, etc.
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

SQL tutorial
Put one or more images or figures at the top of this column. Novices may simply "Insert" an "Image" here. Experts should create first go to the "Media Repository" page and "Create" a new "PS1 image information" page for the new image. The image information page provide a mechanism for capturing metadata and including alternate versions of the figure.
Include an infobox below the picture. Summarize key facts in the infobox. The infobox helps users quickly assess the content of the article.
