Proper Motions from the Pan-STARRS PS1 Survey

Abstract

Data from several observations of the PS1 Medium Deep Survey MD09 field have been reduced, and these results have been combined with legacy observations from the U. S. Naval Observatory's Precision Measuring Machine program. These data have allowed for the preliminary determination of the astrometric quality of PS1 observations using stars with known proper motion.
