TL;DR: A status overview of 4MOST, a high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under construction for ESO's VISTA telescope at Paranal, is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
String of young clusters linking the Magellanic Clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the ZAMS of the Revised Yale Isochrones (RYI) (Green et al. 1987) to determine the distance of three associations lying between the Magellanic Clouds and sitting on the HI ridge.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Photographic Search for Satellites of Uranus
TL;DR: The search was carried out using IIIaJ sky-limited plates taken at the UK Schmidt Telescope and analyzed using the APM Facility in Cambridge as discussed by the authors, and the search is ∼80% complete for satellites brighter than B J = 21.0, rising to ∼95% completeness for satellites with B 3 = 20.6.

TL;DR: 4MOST is a new wide-field, high-multiplex spectroscopic survey facility for the VISTA telescope of ESO, which will deploy 2400 fibres in a 4.1 square degree field-of-view using a positioner based on the tilting spine principle as mentioned in this paper.
