1. Nov 26, 2009 Chongqing NAOC and Steward Observatory The South Galactic Cap U-band Sky Survey with the Bok 2.3m Telescope Fan Zhou NAOC

2. 1. To supply the input source catalogue for LAMOST; 2. To classify of the stars, galaxies, AGN and quasars in the south Galactic cap region with the color-color diagram; 3. To detect the red shift z<3 quasar candidates combining the photometry in other bands; 4. To estimate the red shift of the galaxies with PhotoZ combining the photometry in other bands; 5. To find out some starburst galaxies candidates; 6. It can help us estimate the metallicity of the stellar populations in the galaxies; 7. To identify the type of the stars in the color-color diagram combining the photometry in other bands, which can help us the control the completeness of the star type for the LAMOST observations; 8. It can be helpful for the flux calibration of the LAMOST spectra.

24. In Jan 2008, Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) was successfully mounted in the highest plateau of Antarctic - Dome A by the 24th Chinese expedition team. CSTAR - four 14.5 cm telescopes g, r, i and white filters FOV: 4.5 ◦ × 4.5 ◦ The Dome A locates at 77 ◦ 0657E -80 ◦ 2508S (1271 km from Zhongshan Station. The altitude ∼ 4093 meters The temperature is quite low to − 81 ◦ C the PWV of dome A is supposed to be only half of that in dome C The median seeing of dome A should be less than 0.27. The boundary layer thickness of dome A is ∼ 10 m which is much thinner than that of dome C.

25. There are 16918, 50575, 68157, 110357, 58711 and 5749 images in March, April, May, June, July and August, respectively. The total exposure time is 67.37, 311.39, 378.65, 613.09, 326.17 and 31.94 hours, respectively, in these months and the total exposure time is 1728.61 hours.

27. Monet et al. (2003) derived the formula for transforming the magnitudes of USNO-B1.0 to the magnitudes in SDSS filters with ∼ 450 deg 2 of SDSS Early Data Release = 4.1561 ±0.1225 with 48 points.
