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 J-PLUS collaboration celebrates its third virtual scientific meeting
During the meeting, J-PLUS DR2, with almost twenty million objects, will be released to the international community
The J-PLUS Second Data Release (July 2020) (J-PLUS-DR2) comprises 1088 J-PLUS fields observed in twelve optical bands amounting to 2176 deg2 with ~19.5 million objects at r < 21.
You can access to DR2 description and data here.
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.
