Scientific paper

The Pan-STARRS-1 survey began full scale scientific operation in May, 2010. Roughly 60% of the observing time of the Pan-STARR-1 telescope is dedicated to a survey with an observing cadence that is suitable for the detection of slow-moving solar system bodies. We have developed an independent software pipeline that is optimized for the detection of such bodies at and beyond the distance of Jupiter. With this pipeline, the Pan-STARRS-1 survey will yield an essentially complete census of outer solar system bodies (Centaurs,comets, and trans-neptunian objects) brighter than magnitude r=22 to r=22.5. We present an update on the results of this survey and the outer solar system investigations it has enabled.
