NVO Science: Discoveries

Discoveries of rare objects:

Searches for exotic new sources  truly rare at level of 1 source in 10 million

Multi-wavelength identification  of large statistical samples of previously rare objects:

• brown dwarfs, high-z quasars, ultra-luminous IR galaxies, etc.
Efficient cross-identification of ìunidentified sourcesî  from new surveys

• Example: Use radio, optical, and IR surveys to identify serendipitous Chandra X-ray sources
Selection of targets  for spectroscopic follow-up
