Scientific paper

Pan-STARRS has now been systematically surveying the northern sky for a year and has already provided a mapping of three quarters of the Milky Way sky. With its five filters (grizy) it will, within the three years of the mission, provide an unprecedented map of the Local Group and its satellite system, probing a volume 25 times larger than that probed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I will review the Local Group science that is being performed with the survey data and, in particular, report on our on-going search for unknown faint Local Group dwarf galaxies and stellar streams.
