The Digitized First Byurakan Survey - DFBS
Abstract
The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest spectral survey in the Northern sky. One can select objects by color, broad absorption and emission lines, SED; classify and investigate them. The digitization of the FBS is aimed at making a DFBS database available for the astronomical community. Beside scanning, plate solution, extraction software, wavelength and flux calibration, templates for different types of objects, numerical classification, catalog of objects, database of spectra, user interface and DFBS web page are being made. New research projects based on the DFBS are possible, including search for new QSOs and other AGN, continuation of the 2nd part of FBS, identifications of radio, IR and X-ray sources. The DFBS database will be available at the end of 2004.
