TL;DR
The 1001MC survey aims to collect spectra of half a million stars across 1000 square degrees to study the Magellanic Clouds' formation history through stellar kinematics and elemental abundances.
Contribution
It provides a large, comprehensive spectroscopic dataset of Magellanic Cloud stars, enabling detailed analysis of their formation and interaction history.
Findings
Spectra of ~500,000 stars will be collected.
Dataset covers about 1000 square degrees.
Data will support diverse astrophysical studies.
Abstract
The One Thousand and One Magellanic Fields (1001MC) survey aims to measure the kinematics and elemental abundances of many different stellar populations that sample the history of formation and interaction of the Magellanic Clouds. The survey will collect spectra of about half a million stars with magnitudes (Vega) distributed over an area of about 1000 square degrees and will provide an invaluable dataset for a wide range of scientific applications.
