Abstract

We propose a new multi-object spectrograph for the VLT. MAXIMUS (MAXimum MUltiplex Spectrograph) will fully exploit the multiplexing capabilities of the OzPoz fibre positioner in order to extend and complement FLAMES and VIMOS in covering observational parameter space, and to meet the increasing demand for multi-object spectroscopy by ESO users in the next decade.
