Scientific paper

The BigBOSS Collaboration aims to build a highly-multiplexed (5000 fiber), moderate-resolution (R 3000-5000), wide-field (3 degree diameter) spectroscopic capability for the Mayall 4m telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. The instrument will be used to undertake a large galaxy redshift survey with the primary goal of measuring the baryon acoustic oscillation scale and thereby constraining the dark energy equation of state. The instrument will be a facility instrument at the Mayall and will be available for public use through NOAO. This talk will briefly describe the instrument capabilities and goals and the current state of the project.
