Now that it’s possible to use PanStamps to download images within a given time-window we should be able to take list of PS1-MOPS detections for a given source and download the FITS images from the Pan-STARRS1 data archive. Consider this list of detections of a single TNO: …
Panstamps was originally designed to download all warp or stacked images found to overlap a given sky-position. This is fine if your objects remain fixed at the same location in the sky, i.e they don’t move! For moving objects, alongside spatially filtering the panstarrs images we want downloaded, we also require a temporal filter. We need to be able to request images at a given sky-position that were taken within a given time range. …
