Paper Abstract
Over the past 18 months we have revisited the science requirements for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for the
European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). These efforts span the full range of E-ELT science and include input
from a broad cross-section of astronomers across the ESO partner countries. In this contribution we summarise the key
cases relating to studies of high-redshift galaxies, galaxy evolution, and stellar populations, with a more expansive
presentation of a new case relating to detection of exoplanets in stellar clusters. A general requirement is the need for
two observational modes to best exploit the large (≥40 arcmin2) patrol field of the E-ELT. The first mode (‘high
multiplex’) requires integrated-light (or coarsely resolved) optical/near-IR spectroscopy of >100 objects simultaneously.
The second (‘high definition’), enabled by wide-field adaptive optics, requires spatially-resolved, near-IR of >10
objects/sub-fields. Within the context of the conceptual study for an ELT-MOS called MOSAIC, we summarise the toplevel
requirements from each case and introduce the next steps in the design process.
