Description:
We describe the construction of a database of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars
in the Galactic halo whose elemental abundances have been determined. Our
database contains detailed elemental abundances, reported equivalent widths,
atmospheric parameters, photometry, and binarity status, compiled from papers in
the recent literature that report studies of EMP halo stars with [Fe/H] <
-2.5. The compilation procedures for this database have been designed to
assemble the data effectively from electronic tables available from online
journals. We have also developed a data retrieval system that enables data
searches by various criteria, and permits the user to explore relationships
between the stored variables graphically. Currently, our sample includes 1212
unique stars (many of which are studied by more than one group) with more than
15000 individual reported elemental abundances, covering all of the relevant
papers published by December 2007. We discuss the global characteristics of the
present database, as revealed by the EMP stars observed to date. For stars with
[Fe/H] < -2.5, the number of giants with reported abundances is larger than
that of dwarfs by a factor of two. The fraction of carbon-rich stars (among the
sample for which the carbon abundance is reported) amount to ~30 % for [Fe/H]
< -2.5. We find that known binaries exhibit different distributions of
orbital period, according to whether they are giants or dwarfs, and also as a
function of metallicity, although the total sample of such stars is still quite
small.
MOIRCS (Multi-Object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph) provides wide-field imaging and long-slit / multi-object (MOS) spectroscopic capabilities in the 0.9 ~ 2.5 µm spectral range under the natural seeing condition. The 4'?~7' field of view is covered by two Hawaii-2 2048?~2048 arrays with the spatial resolution of 0.117 arcsec/pixel.
The Subaru Prime Focus Camera (Suprime-Cam) is a mosaic of ten 2048 x 4096 CCDs, located at the prime focus of Subaru Telescope, which covers a 34' x 27' field of view with a pixel scale of 0.20''. This service provides access to the JVO Subaru Suprime-Cam mosaic image archive. The purpose of this archive is to provide quick look images taken by Subaru/Suprime-Cam. Those images were processed by a pipeline developed by JVO.
The Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) is a major new multi-wavelength survey of a ~1.3 square degree region of sky. The SXDS optical imagery represents an unprecedented combination of depth and area coverage, and will be combined with suitably deep images at other wavelengths to provide an accurate census of the contents of the Universe without suffering from the biasing effects of large-scale structure.
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey is one of six very large programs undertaken as Legacy surveys during the first year of the Spitzer Space Observatory. SWIRE has imaged nearly 50 square degrees (equal to the area of 250 full moons) divided among 6 different directions on the sky, detecting over 2 million galaxies by their heat radiation, some of them over 11 billion light years away.

Description:
A significant fraction of the mission time of VSOP was to be dedicated to the VSOP Survey Programme of bright compact Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at 5 GHz, which was lead by ISAS. The VSOP Survey Sources are an unbiased dataset of 294 targets, of which 82% were successfully observed.
