IAU Symposium 304 Multiwavelength AGN Surveys and Studies
7-11 October 2013, Byurakan, Armenia
Main webpage: http://iaus304.aras.am/ Webpage at IAU: http://www.iau.org/science/meetings/future/symposia/1069/

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
AGN surveys are the source for the mo st interesting objects in the extragalact ic Universe: QSOs, Seyfert galaxies, blazars, radio galaxies, LINERs, et c. They are important for understanding the variety o f extragalact ic sources and their interrelat ionship, as well as understanding the evo lution of the Universe. Recent ground-based and space missio ns give vast amount of new mult iwavelength (MW) data, which are being put together to discover many new AGN. V irtual Observato ries (VOs) help in accomplishment of complex research programs using all these data. A co mbined study o f these data also gives the overall picture of the AGN and answers some of the most important questions: (1) understanding the possible evo lutionary and/o r physical connect ion between t he different classes of AGN, i.e. their consistency wit h the unificat ion model, (2) the relation of AGN to their host galaxies, (3) understanding the true fraction of heavily obscured AGN in order to determine the true AGN luminosit y function and its variation with redshift. The Symposium will provide a good opportunit y to elaborate a strategy, based on the acqu ired experience, to p lan future surveys best fitted to fulfill t he needs, and to coordinate fo llow-up observat ions with the new large ground-based and space telescopes. IAU Symposium 304 is dedicated to B.E. Markarian's 100th anniversary. Benyamin Markarian (19131985) was the first to conduct and accomplish a large-area (17,000 sq. deg.) spectroscopic survey to search for active galaxies. Markarian survey is until now the largest objective-prism spectroscopic survey, it was the first systemat ic search for active galaxies using a new method of UV-excess, it resulted in the discovery of 1515 UVX galaxies (Markar ian galaxies), including many AGN and Starbursts, first classificat ion of Seyferts into Sy1 and Sy2, and definit io n of Starburst galaxies. The Byurakan Astrophysical Observato ry (BAO) has a lo ng tradit ion in organizing internatio na l meet ings, including four IAU Symposia: #29 in 1966 (Non-Stable Phenomena in Galaxies), #121 in 1986 (Observational Evidence of Activity in Galaxies), #137 in 1989 (Flare Stars in Star Clusters, Associations and Solar Vicinity), and #194 in 1998 (Activity in Galaxies and Related Phenomena), the IAU Colloquium #184 in 2001 (AGN Surveys), as well as the all-European JENAM meet ing in 2007. Moreover, BAO recent ly st arted organizing the Byurakan Internat ional Summer Schools, and four successful schools were held in 2006, 2008, 2010 (combined with the 32th IAU ISYA), and 2012. BAO plays an important role as one of the reg io nal ast rono mical centre in the Middle East; beside the meetings and schools, many young astronomers visit BAO to accomplish their research and work on PhD theses.
