JADES has conducted an ambitious program of deep infrared imaging and multi-object spectroscopy, using three JWST instruments, in the two most famous deep fields on the sky: the Hubble Deep Field (GOODS-N) and Hubble Ultra Deep Field (GOODS-S).

Using over 1 month of mission time, JADES was the largest program in JWST Cycle 1. It is a collaboration of the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) instrument development team, using guaranteed time from these teams as well as a smaller contribution from the MIRI-US team.

JADES conducted NIRCam imaging in 8-10 bands, covering about 42 square arcminutes to very deep limits (fainter than 30th magnitude) with an average of about 100 hours of total exposure time, and then another 167 square arcminutes to a typical exposure time of 25 hrs. Coordinated parallels with the MIRI instrument extend this imaging further into the infrared in smaller regions.

JADES then performed extensive NIRSpec spectroscopy with over 5000 targets on 31 separate pointings, including two of exceptional depth (55 hrs spread across 5 dispersers). These produce beautiful assessments of these faint galaxies.

In addition to this original program scope, the JADES team added additional imaging and spectroscopy in Cycles 1, 2, \& 3 from a number of affiliated guest observer programs.

JADES has already produced a series of important results, including some of the highest redshift galaxies spectroscopically confirmed so far with JWST. Five data releases are now available, with careful reductions of all of the data from the guaranteed time program as well as other public imaging in the GOODS-S and GOODS-N fields.
