All tables are given in FITS format and compressed using gzip. Compressed tables can be easily opened with Astropy:
import astropy.io.fits as fits
from astropy.table import Table
mean_field_1 = Table(fits.open('dr1_v2_mean_catalog_0001.fits.gz')[1].data)Our catalog of mean-combined sources a total of ~50 million row (of which ~40 million are unique. Our images overlap with each other, so some sources appear twice!). This is a catalog of all Pan-STARRS matches found in our mean-combined, stacked fields. We set a match distance limit of 1.5" (~half a pixel). We further match the Pan-STARRS sources to the IGAPS survey of the Northern Galactic Plane, with a limit of 0.12" on the match distance. The catalog can be downloaded in two ways. We provide two bulk catalogs, with sources separated by Galactic latitude, b:
Alternatively, you can use the per-field tool below to find the complete stack catalog for a specific field.
The point-source catalog for individuals is available per-field below. Search for your coordinate range of interests, and it will return catalogs for the relevant fields!
Similar to the mean-combined catalogs, these are catalogs of all Pan-STARRS matches we find in our individual exposures, with the same limit of 1.5" on the match distance (~half a pixel). There are up to 12 individual
exposures for each field (so up to 12 unique file_name column values).
