Australia has long been a world leader in wide-field astronomical surveys, and the new High Resolution Multi-Object Echelle Spectrograph (HERMES) being built for the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) will enhance that leadership position. Through a combination of Australian technological and scientific advances, the surveys we conduct with HERMES will allow us to study galaxy formation and stellar astrophysics in unprecedented detail. There are powerful synergies between HERMES and Skymapper, another Australian astronomical survey, as well as with Gaia, the billion-dollar European space mission for studying the Galaxy; HERMES will thus promote both national and international research collaboration. In this proposal we lay the observational groundwork for maximising the scientific return from HERMES.

澳大利亚长期以来一直是广域天文观测领域的世界领先者，为英澳望远镜 (AAT) 建造的新型高分辨率多目标阶梯光栅光谱仪 (HERMES) 将增强这一领导地位。通过结合澳大利亚的技术和科学进步，我们与 HERMES 进行的调查将使我们能够以前所未有的细节研究星系形成和恒星天体物理学。 HERMES 与另一项澳大利亚天文调查 Skymapper 以及耗资数十亿美元的欧洲研究银河系太空任务 Gaia 之间存在强大的协同作用；因此，HERMES 将促进国内和国际研究合作。在这项提案中，我们为最大化 HERMES 的科学回报奠定了观测基础。
