Description
OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object survey) is a project aimed at
studying the low end luminosity function of emission line galaxies. A
broad band survey at B ≈ 24 magnitudes detection level will also be
performed for a field of view of about 14 square degrees corresponding
to the lowest selected redshift (z = 0.08). This huge amount of data
will contain invaluable information about the stellar content of a deep
portion of our own Galaxy. In this contribution we revise different
Galactic projects in which these data could provide new and important
insights into classical and new Galactic questions.
