... We report initial results of cross-identification of extragalactic objects from the NASA/IPAC database and Guide Star Catalog (GSC). ... The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) contains positions, extensive data, and 1,023,000 cross-identifications for over 592,000 extragalactic objects (galaxies, quasars, and radio sources). ... Catalogs and lists are being integrated into NED on a continuing basis, following a detailed cross-identification process. ... Final cross-identification results: . ...

... The 209 candidates were selected from our first and second priority samples introduced in Paper IV. Of 169 first priority candidates, 141 objects appeared in our list as new ones. 28 objects were listed in the NED as galaxies or objects from various catalogs with known redshifts and some of them already had information on emission lines in earlier publications. ... The ``random selected sample'' was created to access the fraction of BCGs in the second priority list and contains 43 objects. ...

Observations from the HERschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) have been used to identify dusty populations of sources in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). We conducted the study using the HERITAGE catalogs of point sources available from the Herschel Science Center from both the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS; 100 and 160 ЮМm) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE; 250, 350, and 500 ЮМm) cameras. ...

High redshift radio galaxies and SMBH evolution Mark Lacy Outline - what did we learn in the last 10 years? Radio galaxies contain really big black holes. ... Some high-z radio galaxies are forming a lot of stars. Radio jets can both drive strong shocks into the ISM (negative feedback for star formation?) and form stars (positive feedback for star formation?) High-z radio galaxies are not alone - radio quiet and radio intermediate type-2 quasars are common at high redshifts. ...

USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ...
