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.

• If we got 55 nights: 55 nights ×10 hours / nights =550 hours

• Calibration: 387×3min=21 hours • Each field: (550-21)hours×3/4 clear

night/3700=6.43 min

• If we got 80 nights: 80 nights ×10 hours / nights =800 hours

• Each field: (800-21)hours×3/4 clear night/3700=9.47 min
