Note : this is the description file of the original catalog.
This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor
changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output
files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities
such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally
converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the
units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe
file for this catalogue.

Description:
The Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS)
is a system for wide-field astronomical imaging developed and operated
by the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii.
Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) is the first part of Pan-STARRS to be completed and
is the basis for Data Release 1 (DR1). The PS1 survey used a 1.8m
telescope and its 1.4 Gigapixel camera (GPC1) to image the sky in five
broadband filters (g, r, i, z, y). PS1 took approximately 370000
exposures from 2010 to 2015.
The PS1 camera surveyed the sky using 5 filters: g, r, i, z, and y.
The effective wavelengths (and spectral resolutions) of these 5
filters are 481nm (R=3.5), 617nm (R=4.4), 752nm (R=5.8), 866nm
(R=8.3), and 962nm (R=11.6), respectively. Please refer to Table 4 in
Tonry+ (2012, J/ApJ/750/99) for bandpass details. Schlafly+
(2012ApJ...756..158S) provides updated zeropoints in Table 1.
Data for this catalog has been retrieved from STScI and was built from
ObjectThin and StackObjectThin tables with nDetections>2.
