As part of the CASJobs sunsetting efforts, MAST will be providing notebooks demonstrating how to query the Pan-STARRS catalogs at MAST using TAP/ADQL as an alternative access method.

While a Pan-STARRS/TAP notebook already exists within the MAST notebooks, the set of Pan-STARRS "20 queries" (based on the SDSS 20 queries presented by Gray et al. 2002) as adapted and formulated by Rick White for CASJobs (available on innerspace) were identified as additional valuable examples.

This notebook presents the "multiple detection" subset of these "20 queries" for Pan-STARRS, covering queries with time series information (e.g., moving objects or variable magnitudes).

The current version of this notebook (v1) covers Q15. (At a later date, Q14 is slated for inclusion in v2, after temporary tables are supported in MAST TAP queries).

Overview pages for PS1 and the PS1 "20 query" tutorials have been added, following the style of the SDSS notebooks. (These will require merge editing given the other PS1 20 queries pull requests.)

As a note: some things things will require editing before merging. All items are flagged with big red boxes, which will be removed prior to merging:

  • Verifying integration of the schema browser (and editing the narrative to describe how to access the schema browser), after it has been deployed publicly (as a URL) and is integrated in TIKE (through the jupyter hub instance). Alternatively, editing to remove this discussion, depending on the publication plans.

  • Adding correct URLs to the "PS1 TAP migration guide", describing differences in the MSSQL-backed and new, more-performant postgres-backed TAP service for PS1 DR2.

Complete (draft) of the multiple detections notebook, with v1 containing Q15. (Q14 is slated for inclusion in v2 at a later date.)

Includes a companion data file with proper motions of known moving objects matched from the JPL database for visualization in the notebook (this matching is beyond the scope of the notebook to reproduce, so included as a data file).
