The archive of AGN spectral observations is obtained on AZT-8
telescope at the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI), Almaty,
Kazakhstan. It represents the result of observations for abot 25 years
- from 1970 to 1995. All observations were carried out at AZT-8 (D =
700 mm, F[main] = 2800 mm, F[Cassegrain] = 11000 mm) with a high-power
spectrograph. In 1967-68, on the basis of the image intensifier
(https://doi.org/10.1080/1055679031000084795a) developed and assembled
the spectrograph of the original design in the workshops of the FAI.
To use the spectra, please, download raw .fit file of required object,
date and exposure. The open 'Calibration frames' in Related links and
then use them to calibrate object spectra frames. For more information

ESASky is a science-driven discovery portal providing full access to the entire sky as observed with all ESA Space astronomy missions. This service provides access to catalogues, observations, and spectra hosted at the ESAC Science Data Centre.
The GAVO Data Center's sitewide SIAP version 2 service
publishes all the images published through the site. For more advanced
queries including uploads, all this data is also available through
ObsTAP.

Description:
The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest and the first systematic
objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. It covers 17,000 sq.deg.
in the Northern sky together with a high galactic latitudes region in the
Southern sky. The FBS has been carried out by B.E. Markarian, V.A.
Lipovetski and J.A. Stepanian in 1965-1980 with the Byurakan Observatory
102/132/213 cm (40"/52"/84") Schmidt telescope using 1.5 deg. prism. Each
FBS plate contains low-dispersion spectra of some 15,000-20,000 objects;
the whole survey consists of about 20,000,000 objects.

Description:
The VHS will image the entire ~20 000 square degrees of the Southern Sky, with the exception of the areas already covered by the VIKING and VVV surveys, in J and Ks. The resulting data will be about 4 magnitudes deeper than 2MASS and DENIS. The 5000 square degrees covered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), another imaging survey scheduled to begin in 2010 at the CTIO 4 metre Blanco telescope, will also be observed in H-band. The area around both of the Galactic Caps will be observed in Y- and H- band as well to be combined with the data from the VST ATLAS survey. The main science drivers of the VHS include: examining low mass and nearby stars, studying the merger history of the Galaxy, measuring the properties of Dark Energy through the examination of large-scale structure to a redshift of ~1, and searches for high redshift quasars.

Description:
This DSA hosts data release 2 of the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. The UHS provides continuous J and K-band coverage in the northern hemisphere from a declination of 0 deg to 60 deg.
