Abstract
Multi-object spectroscopy is a powerful technique now widely used to acquire spectra of many sources for statistical purposes. The review of the parameter space covered by existing facilities indicates that either a wide field near-IR MOS covering up to 2.5μm, and/or a wide field integral field spectrograph working together with adaptive optics are possible contenders for the next generation VLT-MOS instruments.
