Scientific paper

Study of evolution of galaxies, of transient events such as supernovae and large scale structures at redshifts greater than unity implies observing in a small sky area with a dedicated telescope. A fixed primary mirror aimed at the celestial pole seems the best way to yearly accumulate enough observation time. After earlier proposals made by Soviet and American astronomers, a European group intends to use an existing 3.50 m Italian mirror to build a specialized, spectroscopic, polar telescope named 'POST'.
