Abstract:
Preliminary studies of the PS1 astrometric capabilities have been presented at previous AMOS Technical Conferences. As of the 2009 AMOS deadline, PS1 is scheduled to go into routine survey operations in May 2009. Hence, large amounts of data should be available by the time of the conference, and detailed astrometric studies and results will be done on as much of the data as possible. All preliminary work suggests that with four months of epoch difference, proper motions as small as 0.1 arcsecond per year should be easily detectable.
Date of Conference: September 1-4. 2009
Track: Astronomy
