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.
JAST80 Telescope: Javalambre Auxiliary Telescope
The Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope (JAST80) 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.
Artificial intelligence is incorporated into the classification of stars, quasars and galaxies through the J-PLUS project.
An algorithm developed by researcher Andrés del Pino now applies Bayesian neural networks to data from the J-PLUS project. The aim is to robustly classify the astronomical objects detected by the survey and thus di...
The J-PLUS Third Data Release (July 2022) (J-PLUS-DR3) comprises 1642 J-PLUS fields observed in twelve optical bands amounting to 3192 deg2 with ~29.8 million objects at r < 21.
You can access to DR3 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.
