Astronomical surveys Astronomical surveys The Second Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (2C) was published in 1955 by John R Shakeshaft and colleagues. It comprised a list of 1936 sources between declinations -38 and +83, giving their right ascension, declination, both in 1950.0 coordinates, and flux density. The observations were made with the Cambridge Interferometer, at 81.5 MHz. ...more on Wikipedia about "2C"
In astronomy, the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (Two-degree-Field Galaxy Redshift Survey), or 2dFGRS is a redshift survey conducted by the Anglo-Australian Observatory with the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope in the 1990s. This survey determined the large-scale structure in one section of the local Universe. The survey measured the redshifts of over 245,000 galaxies over an area of over 1500 square degrees. ...more on Wikipedia about "2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey"

The Fifth Cambridge Catalog of Radio Sources ( 5C) is an astronomical catalogue of celestial radio sources as measured at 408-MHz and 1407-MHz. It was published in a number of parts between 1975 and 1995 by the Radio Astronomy Group of the University of Cambridge. The One-Mile Telescope used to produce this catalogue had an angular resolutions of 80 arcseconds and 23 arcseconds at 408 MHz and 1407 MHz respectively, and cataloged radio sources as faint as 2 milli- Janskys, considerably fainter than any previously cataloged radio source. ...more on Wikipedia about "5C"
The 6C Survey of radio sources ( 6C) is an astronomical catalogue of celestial radio sources as measured at 151-MHz. It was published between 1985 and 1993 by the Radio Astronomy Group of the University of Cambridge. ...more on Wikipedia about "6C"

The Anglo-Australian Near-Earth Asteroid Survey (AANEAS) operated from 1990- 96, becoming one of the most prolific programs of its type in the world. Apart from leading to the discovery of 38 near-Earth asteroids, 9 comets, 63 supernovae, several other astronomical phenomena and the delivery of a substantial proportion of all NEA astrometry obtained worldwide (e.g., 30% in 1994- 95), AANEAS also led to many other scientific advances which were reported in the refereed literature. ...more on Wikipedia about "Anglo-Australian Near-Earth Asteroid Survey"
The Asiago-DLR Asteroid Survey (ADAS) is a project to search for comets and asteroids, with special emphasis on near-Earth objects. ...more on Wikipedia about "Asiago-DLR Asteroid Survey"
Astronomical surveys generally involving imaging or mapping of regions of the sky using Telescopes. The surveys are usually restricted to one band of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. light or radio) or to measurements of the flux of one type of particle (e.g. cosmic rays). Surveys are generally performed as part of the production of an astronomical catalogue. ...more on Wikipedia about "Astronomical surveys"

Catalina Sky Survey is a project to discover comets and asteroids, and to search for near-earth objects. More specifically, to search for potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), that may pose a threat of impact. ...more on Wikipedia about "Catalina Sky Survey" Visit again www.shortopedia.com

The DEEP2 Survey or DEEP2 is a Redshift survey of the Redshift~1 universe. It uses the Keck telescopes (the world's largest optical telescope as of 2005) to measure the spectra and hence redshifts of approximately 60,000 galaxies. ...more on Wikipedia about "DEEP2 Redshift Survey"
The Indiana Asteroid Program was a program of photographic asteroid observations made with a 10-inch f/6.5 Cooke triplet astrographic camera at Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana. The program was initiated by Frank K. Edmondson of Indiana University in 1949 and continued until 1967. It had four objectives: ...more on Wikipedia about "Indiana Asteroid Program"
The International Near-Earth Asteroid Survey (INAS) was organized and co-ordinated by Eleanor F. Helin during the 1980s, as the international aspect of the Planet-Crossing Asteroid Survey (PCAS). INAS attempted to expand the sky coverage (PCAS operated exclusively from Palomar Observatory) and the discovery and recovery of Near-Earth asteroid (NEAs) around the world. ...more on Wikipedia about "International Near-Earth Asteroid Survey"
The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project is a cooperative project between the United States Air Force, NASA and MIT's Lincoln Laboratory for the systematic discovery of near-Earth asteroids. LINEAR is responsible for the majority of asteroid detections since 1998. As of October 21, 2004 LINEAR had detected 211,849 new objects of which at least 1622 were near earth asteroids and 142 were comets. All of LINEAR's discoveries were made using robotic telescopes. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research"
Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) is a program run by NASA and Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, to discover near-Earth objects. The LONEOS system began in 1993. The principal investigator is Ted Bowell. ...more on Wikipedia about "Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search"

Pan-STARRS (an acronym for Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) is a planned astronomical survey that will conduct astrometry and photometry of much of the entire sky on a continuous basis. By detecting any differences from previous observations of the same areas of the sky, it is expected to discover a very large number of new asteroids, comets, variable stars and other celestial objects. Its primary mission is to detect near-Earth objects that threaten to cause impact events. It is expected to create a database of all objects visible from Hawaii (three-quarters of the entire sky) down to apparent magnitude 24. ...more on Wikipedia about "Pan-STARRS"
The Palomar Planet Crossing Asteroid Survey (PCAS) was initiated by Eleanor F. Helin and Eugene M. Shoemaker in 1973. This program is responsible for the discovery of several thousand asteroids of all types including a large number of Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs), over 200 high inclination objects, other rare and unique orbital types of asteroids and 20 comets. PCAS ran for nearly 25 years until June 1995. It is the immediate predecessor of the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) program. ...more on Wikipedia about "Planet-Crossing Asteroid Survey"
