| Sumario: | This document describes the scientific case for a wide-field 6.5-m spectroscopic telescope. The key scientificaims are linked to two diferent modes of operation: 1) Study the detailed astrophysics of extended systemsvia high-quality, medium-resolution spectroscopy using multiple Integral Field Units (IFU) and 2) Study thestructure of the Universe via multiple, single-fiber spectroscopy of distant and/or compact systems.This wide-field spectroscopic facility will complement and extend present facilities, greatly enhancing the potentialfor new discoveries while at the same time minimizing the chances of scientific failure. Strategically weaim to address the widest possible range of astrophysically competitive areas while minimizing the number ofinstruments |
