PS1-STRM: neural network source classification and photometric redshift catalogue for PS1 3π DR1
Abstract
The Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) 3π survey is a comprehensive optical imaging survey of three quarters of the sky in the grizy broad-band photometric filters. We present the methodology used in assembling the source classification and photometric redshift (photo-z) catalogue for PS1 3π Data Release 1, titled Pan-STARRS1 Source Types and Redshifts with Machine learning (PS1-STRM). For both main data products, we use neural network architectures, trained on a compilation of public spectroscopic measurements that has been cross-matched with PS1 sources. We quantify the parameter space coverage of our training data set, and flag extrapolation using self-organizing maps. We perform a Monte Carlo sampling of the photometry to estimate photo-z uncertainty. The final catalogue contains 2902 054 648 objects. On our validation data set, for non-extrapolated sources, we achieve an overall classification accuracy of $98.1{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for galaxies, $97.8{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for stars, and $96.6{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ for quasars. Regarding the galaxy photo-z estimation, we attain an overall bias of ⟨Δznorm⟩ = 0.0005, a standard deviation of σ(Δznorm) = 0.0322, a median absolute deviation of MAD(Δznorm) = 0.0161, and an outlier fraction of $P\left(|\Delta z_{\mathrm{norm}}|\gt 0.15\right)=1.89{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$. The catalogue will be made available as a high-level science product via the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes.
