J-PLUS: Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey
The Javalambre-Photometric Local Universe Survey, J-PLUS, is an unprecedented photometric sky survey of 8500 deg2 visible from Javalambre, using a set of 12 broad, intermediate and narrow band filters. J-PLUS will be a powerful 3D view of the nearby Universe that will observe and characterize tens of millions of galaxies and stars of the Milky Way halo, with a wide range of Astrophysical applications.
JAST/T80 Telescope: Javalambre Auxiliary Telescope
The Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope (JAST/T80) is an 80cm Ritchey Chrétien telescope with a large field of view of 2 deg diameter, particularly defined for carrying out large sky photometric surveys like J-PLUS.
Instrumentation: T80Cam
OAJ: Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre
The Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre is an astronomical Spanish ICTS particularly devoted to carry out large sky astronomical surveys with two large field of view telescopes, state-of-the-art panoramic instrumentation, and an unprecedented set of optical filters.
The aluminizing vacuum chamber arrives at the OAJ
The aluminizing vacuum chamber and the cleaning unit for the maintenance of JST/T250 and JAST/T80 telescope's mirrors arrived yesterday at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ). The chamber has been desi...
J-PLUS project will map one-fifth of the entire sky. The DR1 will be the first major release. This release, first, will be accessible to the members of the J-PLUS collaboration and, then, public.
First Science Verification Data is already available (only for collaboration members).
J-PLUS will discover an unprecedented number of stars, galaxies, supernovas, quasars and solar system objects, which will be mapped with exquisite accuracy and will allow a wide variety of science applications.
