Description
OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and low-Intermediate-Resolution
Integrated Spectroscopy) Multi-Object Spectroscopy (MOS) observing mode
is available to the science community of the GTC (Gran Telescopio
Canarias) from early 2014. The MOS production line allows the
researchers to specify a MOS observation in a self-contained way by
using a software tool, in order to bridge the gap between science aims
and the multiplexed spectroscopic data gathering at the telescope. It
gives the researcher the guarantee that the observation will perform as
expected, thanks to the computer vision based quality control checks of
the masks produced. This article describes the architecture of the
production line of MOS observations, its activities, actors, and
subsystems, and how all of them mesh so that the production line works
efficiently and effectively, in an automatized way, using a
model-centric approach where the observation design acts as the single
source of truth for the entire organization.

Evolution of Galaxies
Galaxy evolution is a crucial topic in modern extragalactic astrophysics, linking cosmology to the Local Universe. Their study requires collecting statistically significant samples of galaxies of different luminosities at different distances. It implies the ability to observe faint objects using different techniques, and at different wavelengths
