 Resumo:

The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is a very wide field Cosmological Survey to be carried out from the Javalambre Observatory in Spain with a purpose-built, dedicated 2.5m telescope, using a set of 54 narrow band and 5 broad band filters over a 1.2Gpix, 4.7deg2 camera. Starting in 2015, J-PAS will image 8500deg2 of Northern Sky and obtain 0.003(1 + z) precision photometric redshifts for 9 × 107 galaxies, about 50 times more than the largest current spectroscopic survey, sampling an effective volume of ∼ 14 Gpc3. In addition J-PAS will also carry out a SNIe survey, a cosmic shear survey (thanks to the superb seeing at Javalambre) and a cluster survey, exploring the four main Dark Energy probes. In fact, and thanks to its innovative design, J-PAS will be the first experiment capable of  reaching Stage IV according to the Dark Energy Task Force classification, several years before other projects like Euclid or LSST start their operations. The instrumental development of this project involves a small fraction of the cost and complexity of a high multiplexing spectrograph, yet it will produce data which enable a much wider range of Astrophysical applications: J-PAS effectively uses a 4.7deg2 “IFU” which will produce a low resolution 3D image of the Extragalactic Northern sky. Our survey will have a lasting legacy value, serving as a fundamental dataset for future cosmological projects.
