TL;DR: In this paper, the Gaia-ESO Survey is obtaining high-quality spectroscopic data for about 10^5 stars using FLAMES at the VLT, which are analyzed in parallel by several state-of-the-art methodologies.

TL;DR: In this article, the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is using FLAMES at the VLT to obtain high-quality medium-resolution Giraffe spectra for about 10(5) stars and high-resolution UVES spectra of about 5000 stars.

TL;DR: The discovery of lithium-rich giants contradicts expectations from canonical stellar evolution as discussed by the authors, which is difficult to reconcile with deep mixing models proposed to explain lithium enrichment, because these models can only operate at later evolutionary stages: at or past the luminosity bump.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used BVI and ri photometry and comparison with theoretical isochrones to derive the age of NGC 6705, which is a young and massive open cluster located towards the inner region of the Milky Way.
