SUMMARY:J-PAS and J-PLUS: Large Sky Multi-filter Surveys from the Javalambr
 e Observatory
DESCRIPTION:J-PAS and J-PLUS: Large Sky Multi-filter Surveys from the Javal
 ambre Observatory\nDr. Javier Cenarro\n\nThe Observatorio Astrofísi
 co de Javalambre (hereafter OAJ) is a new Spanish astronomical facility de
 voted to carry out large sky multi-filter surveys with two telescopes of l
 arge field-of-view (FoV): the Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST), a 2.5m wi
 th 3deg FoV, and the Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope (JAST), an 80cm
  with 2deg FoV. Both telescopes are equipped with panoramic cameras that a
 mount to 1.3Gpix and are able to host more than 80 different filters simul
 taneously. During the first years of operation, the OAJ will be mostly dev
 oted to conduct the Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrop
 hysical Survey (J-PAS) and the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Surve
 y (J-PLUS). J-PAS will observe 8.500deg2 of the sky visible from Javalambr
 e with a set of 54 narrow-band contiguous optical filters plus 5 broader o
 nes, performing in the end as a low resolution IFU of the Northern hemisph
 ere. It will provide unprecedented spectral energy distributions for every
  pixel of the sky, and ultimately for more than 200 million galaxies. J-PL
 US is now beginning to observe the same sky area of J-PAS with 12 narrow, 
 intermediate and broad-band filters aimed to provide the photometric calib
 ration of J-PAS and unprecedented multicolor data for many fields of the A
 strophysics. Both J-PAS and J-PLUS will provide powerful 3D views of the U
 niverse that will be made publicly available to the community as legacy pr
 ojects. In this talk I will present the OAJ and the J-PAS and J-PLUS proje
 cts, describing the survey strategies and their main scientific objectives
  and capabilities.
