WAVES is a massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey of 1.6 million galaxies planned to be carried out on the
VISTA telescope as part of the
4MOST Consortium's suite of surveys.
First DEVILS team meeting starts today! Lots of great talks planned detailing core data products from @ICRAR students @_jessthorne, @HoseinHashemi9 and Matias Bravo (among others!). Also really looking forward to hearing about future science plans! #DEVILSteam2020
WAVES project scientist and @uwanews @ICRAR research fellow @astrowelshluke is now the new extragalactic deputy project scientist for the 4MOST consortium, taking on a more senior leadership role within the project: https://www.4most.eu/cms/new-appointments-in-the-4most-organisation/
Australia is a key player in the @ESO #4MOST instrument, with @AAOorg contributing the fibre positioner, and the @wavessurvey being led by @ICRAR. https://twitter.com/ESO/status/1104019419557257217
On the arXiv today - find out more about @wavessurvey Wide-Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES) - https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.02473 - a study the growth of structure, mass and energy on scales of ~1 kpc to ~10 Mpc over a 7 Gyr timeline - in latest ESO Messenger.
4MOST special @ESO Messenger article published today with details the 4MOST project, operations, survey strategy, and an overview of all surveys - including WAVES.
