The Edge-on Galaxy Database

The Catalog of the Edge-on Galaxies In Pan-STARRS1 survey (EGIPS)

Examples

The catalog contains 16551 nearly edge-on galaxies over 3/4 of the sky (δ ≳ −30°) in the Pan-STARRS DR2. The candidates for the EGIPS catalogue were found by an Artificial Neural Network. The visual inspection allowed us to reject image artifacts and to estimate the proximity of the galaxies to the edge-on orientation.
