Welcome

The PFS Target Uploader is a web app to validate and submit the target list supplied by users with an observing time estimate by a pointing simulation.

Info

August 10, 2024 (HST)

In the examples of input target lists, column names for fluxes are found to be incorrect for the initial version released together with S25A CfP on August 5, 2024 (HST). The r- (i-) band filters for HSC need to be either r_old_hsc or r2_hsc (i_old_hsc or i2_hsc). We have updated the examples with correct information for the correct examples. Please see the Filters section for the details.
