Scientific paper

A comprehensive survey of the submillimetre sky is underway at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) using two state-of-the-art instruments: SCUBA-2 is a 10,000 pixel bolometer array, operating simultaneously at 450 and 850 microns (see companion paper: Davis et al. Session 38), and HARP is a heterodyne array receiver operating between 325 and 375 GHz. The JCMT Legacy Survey (JLS) is comprised of 7 survey projects, and ranges in scope from the study of nearby debris disk systems, the study of star formation in nearby molecular cloud systems and more distant structures in our Galactic Plane, to the structure and composition of galaxies in our local neighborhood and the number and evolution of submillimetre galaxies at high redshifts in the early Universe.
The HARP components of the JLS are now complete and with on-sky commissioning of SCUBA-2 at the JCMT recently completed, the continuum component with SCUBA-2 has commenced. In this presentation I will describe the JLS and its constituent projects and also present some of the latest results to emerge from the JLS, including some of the latest data with SCUBA-2.
