چکیده
Current X-ray observatories, archival X-ray data, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) represent a powerful combination for addressing key questions about active galactic nuclei (AGN). We describe a few selected issues at the forefront of X-ray AGN research and the relevance of the SDSS to them. Bulk X-ray/SDSS AGN investigations, X-ray weak AGN, red AGN, hard X-ray selected AGN, high-redshift AGN demography, and future prospects are all briefly discussed.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will carry out a digital photometric and spectroscopic survey over π steradians in the northern Galactic cap. An array of CCD detectors used in drift-scan mode will image the sky in five passbands to a limiting magnitude of r′ ∼ 23. Selected from the imaging survey, 10 galaxies, 10 quasars and selected samples of stars will be observed spectroscopically. In a...

متن کاملNovel Methods for Predicting Photometric Redshifts from Broad Band Photometry using Virtual Sensors
We calculate photometric redshifts from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Main Galaxy Sample, The Galaxy Evolution Explorer All Sky Survey, and The Two Micron All Sky Survey using two new training–set methods. We utilize the broadband photometry from the three surveys alongside Sloan Digital Sky Survey measures of photometric quality and galaxy morphology. Our first training–set method draws from th...

rapidly increasing. This is partly owing to large digitized sky surveys in the optical and near infrared ranges. These surveys, in turn, are due to the development of digital imaging arrays such as chargecoupled devices (CCDs). The size of digital arrays is also increasing, pushed by astronomical research’s demands for more data in less time. Currently, projects such as the European DENIS (Deep...
متن کاملExtreme BAL Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of Fe ii with varying excitations; several objects are almost completely absorbed bluewards of Mg ii; at 1
متن کاملSkyMapper and the Southern Sky Survey a resource for the southern sky
SkyMapper is amongst the first of a new generation of dedicated, widefield survey telescopes. The 1.3m SkyMapper telescope features a 5.7 square degree field-of-view Cassegrain imager and will see first light in late 2007. The primary goal of the facility is to conduct the Southern Sky Survey a six colour, six epoch survey of the southern sky. The survey will provide photometry for objects betw...
