The Armenian Virtual Observatory will develop in the following way:

 

•         Development of ArVO on the basis of the DFBS database

•         Digitization of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS)

•         Accomplishment of other digitization projects at BAO (FBS BSOs spectra, Coma region chains, etc.)

•         Digitization of the whole Byurakan archive plates

•         Creation of a joint low-dispersion spectroscopic database in the North (FBS+SBS+others)

•         Development of an automatic identification procedure for X-ray, IR and radio sources

•         Optical identification of ~100,000 X-ray, IR & radio sources using low-dispersion spectra

•         Development of an automatic search procedure for modeled objects

•         Automatic search new bright AGN in DFBS/DSBS (by modeling template spectra for AGN)

•         Creation and setting the AVO standards in ArVO

Integration in the International Virtual Observatories Alliance (IVOA)
