TL;DR: The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metres-class Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at Paranal, is introduced.

TL;DR: The discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Hydra II as mentioned in this paper, was found serendipitously within the data from the ongoing Survey of the Magellanic Stellar History conducted with the Dark Energy Camera on the Blanco 4 m Telescope.

TL;DR: The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) as mentioned in this paper is a high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the VISTA at Paranal.

TL;DR: The Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) as discussed by the authors is an NOAO community DECam survey of the clouds mapping 480 square degrees (distributed over ~2400 square degrees at ~20% filling factor) to ~24th mag in ugriz with the goal of identifying broadly distributed, low surface brightness stellar populations associated with the stellar halos and tidal debris of the Clouds.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained deep photometry in two 1.5 × 1.0 fields covering the close pair of dwarf spheroidal galaxies Leo IV and Leo V and part of the area in between.
