In the next few years, new surveys using  optical, UV and IR mosaic cameras with high throughput digital  detectors will expand the dynamic range and accuracy of photometry and  astrometry of objects over a significant fraction of the entire sky.  Parallel X-ray and radio surveys over the same areas will produce  astronomical image and spectroscopic databases of unprecedented size  and quality. The combined data sets will provide significant new  constraints on star formation, stellar dynamics, Galactic structure,  the evolution of galaxies and large scale structure, as well as new  opportunities to identify rare objects in the solar system and the  Galaxy. Large area surveys have formidable data acquisition,  processing, archiving, and data distribution demands and this meeting  provided a forum for sharing experiences amongst workers specializing  in different wavebands as well as discussing how multiband  observations can reveal fundamental relationships in our understanding  of the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-01-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792348023\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1485-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 508\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311752663180,"sku":"9780792348023","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792348023.jpg?v=1771512327","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792348023","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
