Status of the Commissioning of the JPAS-Pathfinder Camera at JST/T250 at the Observatorio Astrofísico De Javalambre
Highlights on Spanish Astrophysics X(2019)
Abstract
The Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is an unprecedented photometric sky survey of 8, 500 deg visible from the Observatorio Astrof́ısico de Javalambre (OAJ) in 59 colors, using a set of broad, intermediate and narrow band filters. J-PAS is going to provide the first complete 3D map of a large volume of the Universe and will contribute on many astrophysical science cases, from Solar System minor bodies to Cosmology. The survey will be conducted by the Javalambre Survey Telescope, JST/T250, with Javalambre Panoramic Camera (JPCam), which is currently in its engineering phase. Until then, the interim JPAS-Pathfinder camera, mounting a single CCD covering the center of the FoV, is installed at the telescope. Its filter wheel is ready to host the J-PAS filters already available for use on sky. This is permitting the commissioning of the equipment and is providing the first scientific data: the mini J-PAS. The up-to-date JPAS-Pathfinder commissioning and the results of the science operation is summarized here.
