Overview

About

Maintained by Grigory Uskov5 releasesCRAN page ↗

An interface to the API for 'Pan-STARRS1', a data archive of the PS1 wide-field astronomical survey. The package allows access to the PS1 catalog and to the PS1 images. (see https://outerspace.stsci.edu/display/PANSTARRS/ for more information). You can use it to plan astronomical observations, make guidance pictures, find magnitudes in five broadband filters (g, r, i, z, y) and more.

Install

R (source archive)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/panstarrs/panstarrs_0.2.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "panstarrs_0.2.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.2.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-panstarrs

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-panstarrs

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
