A number of science projects have been put
forward in frame of ArVO and are currently under way:
FAUBOS (FBS/APS/USNO Blue
Objects Survey): pre-selection by MAPS/USNO-B1.0 colors, study by the DFBS
spectra and DSS1/DSS2 images; search for QSO/Sy & WD/sd/CV
EROS (Extremely Red Objects
Spectra): FBS/2MASS/IRAS/MAPS/USNO-B1.0 cross-correlations and pre-selection;
classification based on the DFBS low-dispersion spectra
VCV/MAPS/USNO-B1.0
cross-correlation: examination of the DSS1/DSS2 images of bright
AGN from the Vιron-Cetty and Vιron (VCV) catalog and their re-classification by
the extension, photometric data based on the classification, VCV statistical
study
Multiwavelength bright AGN
sample: VCV V<17.5m objects cross-correlations with
NVSS, FIRST, IRAS PSC/FSC, 2MASS, ROSAT BSC/FSC, DFBS, etc.: Complete sample
of bright AGN over 10,000 deg2 area
Optical identifications of
radio sources: NVSS/FIRST cross-correlation with MAPS/USNO (blue objects);
DFBS spectra
Optical identifications of
IR sources: IRAS PSC/FSC cross-correlation with 2MASS/MAPS/USNO-B1.0
(galaxies, red stars, etc.); DFBS spectra
Optical identifications of
X-ray sources: ROSAT BSC/FSC cross-correlation with MAPS/USNO (blue
objects, galaxies, red stars, etc.); DFBS spectra
ArVO is open for collaboration and proposals for
new science projects are welcome.
