Normalized distribution of the limiting magnitudes (5σ, 3 arcsec aperture) of the J-PLUS DR1 (511 tiles, colored hatched histograms) and the EDR (18 tiles, gray histograms). The black dashed vertical lines mark the targeted J-PLUS limiting magnitudes as reported in Table 4. The legend in the panels provides the median of the limiting magnitudes in the two data releases, as well as the rms of the distribution for the DR1.
