WAVES is a densely packed spectroscopic survey intended to study the underlying structure of the Universe. We plan to reveal the dark matter distribution and its recent evolution by finding and weighing the galaxy groups within our survey regions. We will use the locations and masses of the groups, pairs and galaxies to reconstruct a direct map of the underlying dark matter distribution that underpins our Universe. Further goals are to explore the dwarf galaxy regime in the local Universe, to search for the
WAVES is one of 10 consortium and 8 community surveys that will be conducted in parallel on the newly revamped VISTA telescope at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal site in Chile. The telescope itself will be renamed 4MOST as it switches from a dedicated near-infrared imaging facility ( VISTA ) to a dedicated multi-object spectroscopic facility ( 4MOST ).
