According to recent research from Armenia, "Spectral observations of
10 FBS blue stellar objects (BSO) with the OHP 1.93-m and BAO 2.6.m
telescopes are reported, and overall progress in all the spectral
observations and classifications of FBS BSO over 1987-2000 and in the
classification of these objects based on all the accessible sources–
in all, 753 out of 1103 objects– is discussed."

"Representative slit spectra for the major types of objects are
presented and compared with digitized low dispersion spectra from the
DFBS. The nature of the FBS objects is examined in terms of advances
in the spectral studies," wrote P.K. Sinamyan and colleagues (see
also Astrophysics).

The researchers concluded: "Two-color diagrams are constructed from
the SDSS data and are used to find the regions occupied by the various
types for further identification of objects of unknown type."

Sinamyan and colleagues published their study in Astrophysics (Progress
in spectral studies of the FBS blue stellar objects. Astrophysics,
2009;52(1):76-87).
