J-PLUS Data Release DR1

The J-PLUS First Data Release (July 2018) (J-PLUS-DR1) comprises 511 J-PLUS fields observed in twelve optical bands amounting to 1022deg2. J-PLUS DR1 is based on images collected from November 2015 to January 2018 by the JAST80 telescope.

Detailed information of the data release in this DR1 can be found here.

In Figure 2 we show the distribution of values of FWHM and axis ratio of the PSF of all the r band coadded images. The median value of 1.13" corresponds to ~2pixels, given the plate scale and pixel size.

Figure 3 shows the distribution of limiting magnitudes (3", 3σ). The vertical dotted lines marks the target limiting magnitude of the survey. The presence of secondary peaks is due to a change in the survey strategy (see Section Survey Strategy for more details).

Science Pieces

A colour image of the J-PLUS field 01488 is presented in figure 1. A great variety of astronomical sources are placed in the 2 deg2 FoV of T80Cam@JAST80: main sequence stars, white dwarfs (WD), galaxies, distant QSOs, minor bodies (MB) of the Solar System, etc. In figure 2 a collection of J-PLUS photo-spectra with 12 bands is presented, including the spectroscopic counterpart from SDSS.
