TL;DR: The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters, down to magnitude 19, systematically.

TL;DR: The Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) provides the most comprehensive data set ever acquired on the X-rayemission of pre-main-sequencestars.

TL;DR: The Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) as discussed by the authors provides the most uniform and comprehensive data set on the X-ray emission of normal stars ever obtained in the history of Xray astronomy.

TL;DR: The Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264 (CSI 2264) as discussed by the authors was a 30-day multi-wavelength photometric monitoring campaign on more than 1000 young star members using 16 telescopes.

TL;DR: The ARIEL mission as mentioned in this paper was designed to observe a large number of transiting planets for statistical understanding, including gas giants, Neptunes, super-Earths and Earth-size planets around a range of host star types using transit spectroscopy in the 1.25-7.8 μm spectral range and multiple narrow-band photometry in the optical.
