PAUS Master Catalog
PAUS photometry and photo-zs from its wide fields are publicly available in a single catalog on CosmoHub: PAUS Master Catalog. This catalog also contains value-added data such as CIGALE galaxy properties and D4000 measurements. A sub-catalog of galaxy pairs and another sub-catalog of QSOs are also included in this data release, integrated in the same table
We recommend this catalog as the default way to access PAUS data.
Access to PAUS database
If PAUS images or specific data unavailable in the master catalog are needed, the PAUS database can be directly accessed. The location of the images and the instructions to connect to the database are detailed below; however, we strongly recommend contacting the PAUS team first and explaining which data are exactly needed. You may use this contact form.
How to access PAUS data (raw and reduced images)
How to access PAUS database (catalogs and metadata)
- hostname: db02.pau.pic.es
- port: 5444
- username: readonly
- password: PAUsc1ence
- database: dm
For instance, using the official PostgreSQL client:
psql -U readonly -h db02.pau.pic.es -p 5444 dm
Also you can interface using python (need, at least, pandas, psycopg2-binary and sqlalchemy):
import pandas as pd
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('postgresql://readonly:PAUsc1ence@db02.pau.pic.es:5444/dm')
sql = "select * from production"
df = pd.read_sql(sql, engine)
Or you can use any PostgreSQL client, like pgAdmin or DBeaver.
Previous PAUS catalogs in CosmoHub
Previous PAUS data releases have been also been uploaded to CosmoHub. We note that all catalogs in this list but the COSMOS ones have been integrated into the Master Catalog; hence they may be considered deprecated.
