The Edge-on Galaxies in the Pan-STARRS survey (EGIPS)

Understand

We present a catalogue of 16551 edge-on galaxies created using the public DR2 data of the Pan-STARRS survey.

• The catalogue covers the three quarters of the sky above Dec.=-30 degrees.
• The galaxies were selected using a convolutional neural network, trained on a sample of edge-on galaxies identified earlier in the SDSS survey.
• This approach allows us to dramatically improve the quality of the candidate selection and perform a thorough visual inspection in a reasonable amount of time.
