JAST/T80 Telescope: Javalambre Auxiliary Telescope
The Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope (JAST/T80) 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
T80Cam is a wide field camera installed at the Cassegrain focus of the JAST/T80 and equipped with by a 9200 x 9200, 10μm pixel high efficiency CCD. This full wafer CCD covers a large fraction of the telescope’s field of view (FoV) with a pixel scale of 0.55"/pixel. T80Cam is design to perform the Javalambre-Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS) which will observe through a set of 12 carefully optimized broad- and narrow-band filters.
JST/T250 Telescope: Javalambre Survey Telescope
The Javalambre Survey Telescope (JST/T250) 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 JST/T250 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 Javalambre-PAU Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) which will observe through a set of 56 carefully optimized broad- and narrow-band filters.

The image navigator allows you to visualize and interact with the astronomical images taken with the facilities of the Observatorio Astronómico de Javalambre.
First light instruments are being designed to exploit the survey capabilities of the OAJ telescopes. In particular, a wide field camera has been developed for the JAST/T80 and another one is being developed for the JST/T250.
The Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ) is an astronomical facility located at the Sierra de Javalambre (Teruel), in particular at El Pico del Buitre, 1957 meters above the sea level, close to the village Arcos de las Salinas.
The two first main projects defined to be conducted at the OAJ are J-PLUS (Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey) and J-PAS (Javalambre Physics of the Accelerating Universe Astrophysical Survey). J-PLUS and J-PAS are unprecedented photometric sky surveys of 8500 deg2 visible from Javalambre.
