The Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) aims to map ∼ 9300 deg2 of the Southern sky using the Javalambre filter system of 12 optical bands, 5 Sloan-like filters and 7 narrow-band filters centered on several prominent stellar features ([OII], Ca H+K, D4000, Hδ, Mgb, Hα and CaT). S-PLUS is carried out with the T80-South, a new robotic 0.826-m telescope, equipped with a wide FoV camera (2 deg2), on CTIO. In this poster we introduce project #59 of the S-PLUS collaboration aimed at studying the Fornax cluster through 9 S-PLUS fields covering 6.75 × 5.5 deg2 of this cluster. These fields were observed within the S-PLUS main survey, reaching typical depths of 21 AB in the sloan-like bands and 20 AB for the narrow bands. We aim at detecting Hα emitters, low surface brightness galaxies, bright and compact objects, new dwarf and H II galaxies and peculiar systems. For such, we plan to compl ement our images with UV, IR and radio data. In addition, we will analyze the dynamical properties of the different types of galaxies using the radial velocity catalogues available in the literature. We will also apply different techniques, such as pixeled color-magnitude diagrams, to try to unveil the inner structures of the brightest galaxies and compare the observational results with numerical simulations. This analysis will provide information to better understand the dynamics of the Fornax cluster, and the relation between different types of galaxies and the cluster environment.
