SUMMARY:MOSAIC: Making the MOSt of the ELT
DESCRIPTION:MOSAIC: Making the MOSt of the ELT\nDr. Ruben Sanchez\n\nMOSAIC
  is the proposed visible and near-infrared multi-object spectrograph&nbsp;
 (MOS) for ESO&rsquo;s forthcoming ELT.&nbsp; The instrument is currently i
 n the&nbsp;initial project stage known as Phase A. When operational MOSAIC
  will give&nbsp;the ELT the ability to obtain spectra for large samples of
  faint&nbsp;astronomical sources which are simply out of reach of ESO&rsqu
 o;s current&nbsp;facilities--from stars at the very heart of the Milky Way
 , out to the most&nbsp;distant galaxies at the edge of the observable Univ
 erse. I will discuss the&nbsp;top science cases for MOSAIC and identify th
 e key technical requirements&nbsp;for each case. I will then present the i
 nstrument concept design and&nbsp;architecture that comply with these requ
 irements, and will end by outlining&nbsp;the next steps for the project.
