J-PAS: Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey
OAJ: Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre
JST250 Telescope: Javalambre Survey Telescope
The Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST250) is an 250cm Ritchey Chrétien telescope with a large field of view of 3 deg diameter, particularly defined for carrying out large sky photometric surveys like J-PAS.
Instrumentation: JPCam
JPCam is a wide field camera installed at the Cassegrain focus of the JST250 and equipped with a mosaic of 14 by a 9200 x 9200, 10μm pixel high efficiency CCD. These CCDs cover a large fraction of the telescope’s field of view (FoV) with a pixel scale of 0.2267"/pixel. JPCam is design to perform the J-PAS which will observe through a set of 56 carefully optimized broad- and narrow-band filters.
JPCam achieves technical first light
JPCam, installed last June at the Cassegrain focus of the 2.5m Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST250) of the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ), successfully achieved technical first light on the night of June...
