The zCOSMOS redshift survey used 600h on the VIMOS spectrograph spread over
five observing seasons (2005-2009) to obtain spectra of about 20,000 galaxies
selected to have Iab < 22.5 across the full 1.7 deg2 of the COSMOS field.
This part, "zCOSMOS-bright", was designed to yield a high and fairly uniform
sampling rate (about 70%), with a high success rate in measuring redshifts
(approaching 100% at 0.5 < z < 0.8), and with sufficient
velocity accuracy
(about 100 km/s) to efficiently map the environments of galaxies down to the
scale of galaxy groups out to redshifts z ~ 1.

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.
This schema contains data re-published from the official
Gaia mirrors (such as ivo://uni-heidelberg.de/gaia/tap) either to
support combining its data with local tables (the various Xlite tables)
or to make the data more accessible to VO clients (e.g., epoch fluxes).
PPMXL is a catalog of positions, proper motions, 2MASS- and optical
photometry of 900 million stars and galaxies, aiming to be complete
down to about V=20 full-sky. It is the result of a re-reduction of
USNO-B1 together with 2MASS to the ICRS as represented by PPMX.
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs)
are extragalactic objects characterized by extremely complex physical processes
and strong temporal flux variability over almost the whole electromagnetic
spectrum, which play a very important role in studying the formation and
evolution of galaxies, cosmology and many other astrophysical problems.
Flux variability is one of the most remarkable observational characteristics
of AGNs and the variability time scales are from minutes to dozens of years.
Multi-wavelength flux monitoring is the main means to study the nature of AGN flux variability.
In order to systematically study the total flux variability of AGNs in radio band,
we launched a long-term program, which is called the quasi- Simultaneous Multiwavelength
Monitoring of AGNs with the Nanshan 26-m radio telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO),
namely SMMAN program. The monitoring data were acquired monthly with the cross-scan mode at
C-band (4.8 GHz) and K-band (23.6 GHz) for a sample of about 100 AGNs selected from Fermi-LAT suvery.
Additionally, we also conducted weekly monitoring observations or Intra-Day Vairibility (IDV)
observations for some of flaring Blazars to reveal their more complex variability time scales.
The pulsar timing data were obtained with the Nanshan 25M radio telescope. Our observations, which commenced in January 2000, have been made using a dual-channel room-temperature receiver with a bandwidth of 320 MHz centered at 1540 MHz before June 2002. The de-dispersion was provided by a 2X128X2.5 MHz analog filter-bank. A cryogenic receiver was mounted in July 2002, which increases the sensitivity to 0.5 mJy. In January 2010, a digital filter-bank (DFB) system came into operation. The higher time resolution allows us to monitor about 280 pulsars, including ten millisecond-pulsars (MSP). The format of the DFB data is "Psrfit". The "psrchive" program could reads and analyzes the data.
Timing observations of 74 pulsars have been regularly carried out between 2002 July to 2009 December. These 74 pulsars have been monitored approximately once every 9d using a dual-channel cryogenic system that receives orthogonal linear polarizations at the central observing frequency of 1540 MHz. The folded profiles obtained are released in format PSRFITS for timing analysis, the file name extension is .FTp. Users can enter "~*.FTp*" in "Product key" filed to search and download it.
