L. R. Bedin (Space Telescope Science Institute)

TL;DR
This paper presents a public catalog and atlas of sources from the Hubble Space Telescope's Andromeda Treasury Survey, providing detailed star data in real-time as the survey progresses.
Contribution
It introduces a continuously updated, publicly accessible star catalog based on ACS/WFC data from a large-scale HST survey of M31.
Findings
First release of a comprehensive star catalog for M31 from HST data.
Real-time updates facilitate ongoing community research.
Provides precise positions, magnitudes, and quality metrics for sources.
Abstract
As a legacy of the Hubble Space Telescope, a multi-cycle public survey has recently been approved and began to scan an area of approximately 0.5 degrees x 1.5 degrees in one quadrant of M31, using two cameras and several filters. The purpose of this work is to immediately release to the community a catalog of the sources imaged by ACS/WFC. The list will be updated on an almost real-time basis, as new data arrive, and the process will continue for the next two years, until the survey is completed. Each update will contain a chunk of 1/46 of the entire ACS/WFC survey, by means of astrometrized stacked images, and a catalog providing: positions, magnitudes, and several quality parameters.
