Rationale<\/h1>\n

The Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey<\/strong> (S-PLUS<\/a>) is a joint scientific effort of Brazilian, Chilean and\u00a0Spanish institutions that aims to map ~8000 deg2 of the Southern sky with\u00a0twelve optical filters consisting of 5 broadband SDSS filters and 7 narrow-band filters centered on several prominent features (i.e., [OII], Ca H+K, D4000, H\u03b4, Mgb, H\u03b1 and CaT). The multi-purpose astrophysical survey in the southern\u00a0hemisphere has started at the end of 2016. S-PLUS<\/strong> data are ideal for searching\u00a0low-metallicity and blue-horizontal branch stars and high redshift quasars, study the star formation histories of large numbers of galaxies selected based\u00a0on the accurate 12-band photometric redshifts, and to map the large scale\u00a0structure in the nearby universe, among other science goals<\/a>. S-PLUS<\/strong> will cover\u00a0an additional ~1300 deg2 of the Galactic plane and the Bulge, and observe ~100\u00a0deg2 with some cadence to be determined. The latter will allow us to measure\u00a0variability in stars and active galaxies, and to detect new supernovae and\u00a0asteroids. It is expected that the survey will have a 5-7 year duration.<\/p>\n

S-PLUS<\/strong> is carried out with the T80-South (hereafter, T80S), a new 0.826 m telescope optimised for robotic operation, equipped with a wide FoV camera (2 deg2). The telescope, camera, and filter set are identical to those of the Javalambre Auxiliary Survey Telescope (T80\/JAST), installed at the Observatorio Astrof\u00edsico de Javalambre. T80\/JAST is currently performing the Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS<\/a>), a 12-band survey of a complementary area in the northern hemisphere.<\/p>\n

The first data release (DR1<\/a>) of S-PLUS<\/strong> is already available and contains 80 Stripe-82 fields observed during the scientific validation process plus other 90 fields of the same region obtained during regular operation time. Other releases adding entire regions of the southern sky will be followed in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n

In 2018, members of the research group on \"Extragalactic Stellar Systems and\u00a0their Cosmological Context\" (SEECC<\/a> for its acronyms in spanish) of\u00a0Facultad de Ciencias Astron\u00f3micas y Geof\u00edsicas of Universidad Nacional de La\u00a0Plata (Argentina), have started to work with S-PLUS<\/strong> data through their collaboration with the staff of the project at Instituto de Astronomia, Geof\u00edsica e Ci\u00eancias Atmosf\u00e9ricas (IAG<\/a>) of Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo (Brasil). With the IX La Plata International School (LAPIS) on Astronomy and Geophysic<\/span>s<\/strong><\/span> entitled \"S-PLUS: The Universe in True Colors\"<\/i><\/strong><\/span> ixlapis2020@gmail.com<\/a> we aim at put within reach of advanced degree, MS and PhD students, as well as of postdocs and researchers, the potentiality of S-PLUS<\/strong> for developing new science in the era of large surveys and big data.<\/p>\n
