Simulating Surveys for ELT-MOSAIC: Status of the MOSAIC Science Case after Phase A

M. Puech, C. J. Evans, K. Disseau +17

We present the consolidated scientific case for multi-object spectroscopy with the MOSAIC concept on the European ELT. The cases span the full range of ELT science and require eith…
