| The JCMT Legacy Survey (JLS) is an ambitious programme to study our Galaxy and Universe in the submillimetre from the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It comprises seven programmes whose scientific objectives are to understand the origin, nature and evolution of the universe, galaxies, stars and planets. Brief descriptions of each of the survey components of the JLS can be found here. |
| Latest News | |
|---|---|
| 21-Sep-2009 | SCUBA-2 array functional tests have started. |
| 31-Aug-2009 | SCUBA-2 has started its cool down. |
| 26-Aug-2009 | Power to HARP receptor H14 has been turned off resulting in much more stable performance from the rest of the array. |
| 15-Aug-2009 | A call for SCUBA-2 Shared Risks Observing (S2SRO) will be made some time near the end of September. This is an opportunity for the community to use SCUBA-2 to obtain data through small proposals (< 10 hours) before the instrument is fully commissioned and with just one array at each waveband (850 and 450 microns). |
| INFORMATION | |
|---|---|
| JLS Guidelines | Useful information on summit occupancy during JLS blocks, how to prepare MSBs for survey observations, and how to execute the queue at the telescope during JLS blocks. It is important that all JLS members, especially those likely to prepare or take part in observations, are familiar with these guidelines. |
| JLS Status | Regular updates of the current telescope and instrument status, as well as progress of JLS observing. |
| JLS scheduling and summit occupancy | Find out which teams are observing which observing blocks, who is observing and whether there is still space available. |
| JSOC | Find information on the JCMT Surveys Oversight Committee and JLS policies and procedures here. |
| JLS allocations | The allocation of time awarded to each survey by the JCMT Board. This includes new allocations following the JLS Review of 2008. |
| JLS Coordinators | The list of JLS coordinators. Contact these people with respect to survey specific matters. |
| ORAC-DR and JLS | Instructions on how to install and run the latest version of ORAC-DR on your own machine. Keep up to date with the latest releases and updates. |
| Pipelines and Archives Blog | Keep up to date with the latest news from JCMT pipeline development as well as the JCMT Science Archive. |
| JLS Clash Tool | Use this tool when preparing your PI proposals to determine whether your proposal has a positional clash with any of the JLS survey fields. If you find a potential clash, then follow the advice given in the Call for Proposals. |
| Documents, reports and publications | Documentation on the JLS can be found here, whether reports from Science Verification or published papers. |
| ACSIS data reduction cookbook | A cookbook on how to reduce your ACSIS data. |
| Survey Membership | The Survey Membership wiki pages are still available. Astronomers from the three partner countries can join any survey programme they wish to up until the start of survey operations. Those from outside the partner countries will need to be nominated by a survey coordinator who needs to make a case for the added-value that person brings to the team. |
