Selection of extragalactic Targets for AO and VLTI Observations
Abstract
In this contribution we would like to emphasize the usefulness of data mining multiwavelength surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) or the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) -- which have become available to the public recently -- in order to find interesting objects suitable for adaptive optics (AO) or interferometric (VLTI) observations in the infrared. We will present a sample of extragalactic X-ray sources having an optical counterpart (based on SDSS data release 1) which are suitable for AO/VLTI observations using a natural guide star in their vicinity.
