4MOST — 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Abstract
4MOST (4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a very large field (goal > 5 square degrees) multi-object spectrograph with up to 3000 fibres and spectral resolutions of 5000 and 20000, proposed for the New Technology Telescope (NTT) or the VISTA survey telescope. The science cases covering Gaia follow-up for chemistry and kinematics of the Galaxy and redshift surveys of targets from the eROSITA X-ray mission are briefly outlined.
