The Berkeley Extreme and Far-UV Spectrometer (BEFS), flew on the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (ORFEUS)-SPAS I and II space shuttle missions in 1993 and 1996, returning high-resolution (/3000) FUV spectra (900-1200 Å) of 75 astrophysical objects from the first flight and more than 100 from the second. EUV spectra (400-900 Å) were obtained for a subset of these targets.

The BeSS database assembles classical Be star spectra obtained by professional and amateur astronomers at any wavelength, epoch, and spectral resolution.
Bisei Space Guard Center (BSGC) is an optical telescope facility in Japan, operated by JAXA. It tracks near-Earth asteroids and space debris.
DARTS provides data observed by a 25 cm telescope from 2000 to 2002 and data observed by a 1 m telescope from 2007 to 2017.
The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey of the Galactic Plane made using Bolocam on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. Millimeter-wavelength thermal dust emission reveals the repositories of the densest molecular gas, ranging in scale from cores to whole clouds. By pinpointing these regions, the connection of this gas to nascent and ongoing star formation may be explored. The BGPS coverage totals 170 square degrees (with 33" FWHM effective resolution). The survey is contiguous over the range -10.5 ≤ l ≤ 90.5, |b| ≤ 0.5. Towards the Cygnus X spiral arm, the coverage was flared to |b| ≤ 1.5 for 75.5 ≤ l ≤ 87.5. In addition, cross-cuts to |b| ≤ 1.5 were made at l = 3, 15, 30 and 31. The total area of this section is 133 square degrees. With the exception of the increase in latitude, no pre-selection criteria were applied to the coverage in this region. In addition to the contiguous region, four targeted regions in the outer Galaxy were observed: IC1396 (9 square degrees, 97.5 ≤ l ≤ 100.5, 2.25 ≤ l ≤ 5.25), a region towards the Perseus Arm (4 square degrees centered on l = 111, b=0 near NGC7538), W3/4/5 (18 square degrees, 132.5 ≤ l ≤ 138.5) and Gem OB1 (6 square degrees, 187.5 ≤ l ≤ 193.5). The survey has detected approximately 8,400 sources, to an rms noise level in the maps ranging from 30 to 60 mJy beam-1. The BGPS survey and catalog provide an important database for sub/millimeter observations with the Herschel Space Observatory, ALMA, SCUBA-2, APEX, and others.
This survey was taken with the Bonn Stockert 25m telescope. It was
distributed on the NRAO <i>Images from the Radio Sky</i> CD-ROM. This image
was delivered as a four map mosaic but was combined into a single
map before being included in <i>SkyView</i>. Provenance: Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, generated by P. Reich and W. Reich. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.
The Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies (BoRG) observations were first obtained in HST Cycle 17 in program GO 11700 (PI: Michele Trenti). BoRG is an ongoing pure-parallel program that obtains WFC3 imaging in four filters (F606W, F098M, F125W, F160W) on random sightlines at high Galactic latitudes (|b| > 30 degrees). BoRG also assimilates data from the similar Hubble Infrared Pure Parallel Imaging Extragalactic Survey (HIPPIES) pure-parallel program (GO 11702; PI: Yan). Data from the HIPPIES program uses the F600LP filter instead of F606W.
The CADC provides a collection of reference surveys available using the HiPS protocol. All collections are clones of the main HIPS server at CDS (http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/hips/). Additional services will be added as they become available.
