Description
"
The Prime Focus Spectrograph will be an incredibly powerful instrument for large-area surveys of galaxies over most of cosmic time. With its wide wavelength coverage and multiplexing capabilities, it will be a powerful redshift machine. I will briefly describe the Strategic Survey Plan, and then focus on the Galaxy Evolution survey. With our Main survey, we will define the anisotropic cosmic web with unprecedented sampling at z>1. With our Deep spectra, we will then study the star formation histories, outflow rates, and chemical enrichment of these galaxies as a function of their location in the large scale structure."
