| Summary:
We summarize the properties and initial data release of the JADES Origins
Field (JOF), which will soon be the deepest imaging field yet observed with the
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This field falls within the GOODS-S region
about 8′ south-west of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), where it was formed
initially in Cycle 1 as a parallel field of HUDF spectroscopic observations
within the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). This imaging will
be greatly extended in Cycle 2 program 3215, which will observe the JOF for 5
days in six medium-band filters, seeking robust candidates for z>15 galaxies.
This program will also include ultra-deep parallel NIRSpec spectroscopy (up to
104 hours on-source, summing over the dispersion modes) on the HUDF. Cycle 3
observations from program 4540 will add 20 hours of NIRCam slitless
spectroscopy to the JOF. With these three campaigns, the JOF will be observed
for 380 open-shutter hours with NIRCam using 15 imaging filters and 2 grism
bandpasses. Further, parts of the JOF have deep 43 hr MIRI observations in
F770W. Taken together, the JOF will soon be one of the most compelling deep
fields available with JWST and a powerful window into the early Universe. This
paper presents the second data release from JADES, featuring the imaging and
catalogs from the year 1 JOF observations.
