Scientific paper

There is tremendous scientific potential in a National Virtual Observatory, particularly for projects that need to mine large databases for rare or unusual objects. However, the NVO will also make an impact on any project, large or small, the requires a mixture of datasets to explore a wide range of astrophysical phenomenon. In this article I discuss the influence of the NVO on research into the formation and evolution of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. In particular, I present the preliminary results from an NVO-style project that combines the DPOSS and 2MASS datasets to search for giant disk galaxies.
