- Abstract
The 4MOST Stellar Clusters Survey will target essentially all the Galactic globular and open clusters and star-forming regions accessible to 4MOST (about 120 globulars, 1800 open clusters and 80 star-forming regions). This will: shed light on how clusters form, evolve, dissolve, and populate the Milky Way; calibrate complex physics that affects stellar evolution, on which our ability to measure accurate ages ultimately rests; and evaluate the contribution of star clusters to the formation and evolution of the individual Galactic components with unparalleled statistics.
