This paper describes the organization of the database and the catalog data products from the Pan-STARRS1 3π Steradian Survey. The catalog data products are available in the form of an SQL-based relational database from MAST, the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes at STScI. The database is described in detail, including the construction of the database, the provenance of the data, the schema, and how the database tables are related. Examples of queries for a range of science goals are included.

The SPTpol Extended Cluster Survey (2019, methodology): “We make use of stars from the DES DR1 public release (Dark Energy Survey Collaboration et al. 2018), from the second Gaia data release (Gaia Collaboration et al. 2018), or from the Pan-STARRS1 release (Flewelling et al. 2016) to obtain sufficient numbers of sources for good astrometric solutions.”
Evidence from the H3 Survey That the Stellar Halo Is Entirely Comprised of Substructure (2020, methodology): “In the context of photometric magnitudes, “r” refers to the Pan-STARRS r band (Chambers et al. 2016; Flewelling et al. 2016) that is used in the H3 selection function.”
The ATLAS All-Sky Stellar Reference Catalog (2018, methodology): “We used the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalog database (Flewelling et al. 2016) by running a query that checks that the object has a stack magnitude less than 19 in any of g, r, i, or z and that bestDetection=1 and primaryDetection=1 in the StackObjectThin tables and reports back the mean positions…”
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Time-dependent Convection, Energy Conservation, Automatic Differentiation, and Infrastructure (2022, unknown): “Sky surveys that probe ever-larger areas of the dynamic sky and ever-fainter transient sources include the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (Soffitta et al. 2021), the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (Tomsick & COSI Collaboration 2022), eROSITA (Predehl et al. 2021), Gaia (Gaia Collaboration et al”
The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V (2023, methodology): “We consider the H, G, Vtotal, rpsf, and rmodel magnitudes for objects from the 2MASS PSC, Gaia DR2, Tycho2, PanSTARRS1 DR2, and Legacy Survey DR8 catalogs, respectively (Høg et al. 2000; Skrutskie et al. 2006; Gaia Collaboration et al. 2018; Dey et al. 2019; Flewelling et al. 2020).”
Milky Way Satellite Census. I. The Observational Selection Function for Milky Way Satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1 (2019, background): “These regions correspond to the skycells over which the PS1 DR1 stack images were created (Flewelling et al. 2016).”
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives (2019, background): “Tachibana & Miller (2018) present a new star/galaxy classifier developed for ZTF from the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalog (Chambers et al. 2016; Flewelling et al. 2016).”
A First Catalog of Variable Stars Measured by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) (2018, methodology): “If you think your query might run very fast, you can use the “Quick” button instead of “Submit,” but the PanSTARRS_DR1 database is so huge that almost nothing is quick.”
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results (2018, background): “Tachibana & Miller (2018) presents a new star/galaxy classifier developed for ZTF from the PanSTARRS DR1 catalog (Chambers et al. 2016; Flewelling et al. 2016).”
GOODS-ALMA: 1.1 mm galaxy survey (2018, methodology): “We use the Pan-STARRS DR1 catalogue provided by Flewelling et al. (2016) and also include the corresponding regions issued from the GAIA DR1 (Gaia Collaboration et al. 2016).”
Dark matter heats up in dwarf galaxies (2018, methodology): “For the photometric data, we use the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) DR1 catalogue (Flewelling et al. 2016) for the northern dwarfs Draco, Leo I, Leo II, Sextans, and Ursa Minor.”
