Since September 2018, LAMOST starts a new 5-year medium-resolution spectroscopic survey (MRS) using bright/gray nights. We present the scientific goals of LAMOST-MRS and propose a near optimistic strategy of the survey. A complete footprint is also provided. Not only the regular medium-resolution survey, but also a time-domain spectroscopic survey is being conducted since 2018 and will be end in 2023. According to the detailed survey plan, we expect that LAMOST-MRS can observe about 2 million stellar spectra with ~7500 and limiting magnitude of around G=15 mag. Moreover, it will also provide about 200 thousand stars with averagely 60-epoch observations and limiting magnitude of G~14 mag. These high quality spectra will give around 20 elemental abundances, rotational velocities, emission line profiles as well as precise radial velocity with uncertainty less than 1 km/s. With these data, we expect that LAMOST can effectively leverage sciences on stellar physics, e.g. exotic binary stars, detailed observation of many types of variable stars etc., planet host stars, emission nebulae, open clusters, young pre-main-sequence stars etc.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fourier-transform fits to four helium lines in LAMOST spectra give vsini for 479 Be-type stars, whose deconvolved rotation distribution peaks near 260 km/s with an estimated mean equatorial speed of 0.74 of critical.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tentative detection of a 21.8-day SB1 around V0885 Per that could set a new record for the shortest outer orbit in a compact hierarchical triple, but poor spectra quality prevents confirmation of physical association.
