Abstract

One of the prominent science goal of future ELTs will be to study the physics and mass assembly of galaxies out to very high redshifts. I will first present the galaxy evolution science case for EAGLE, which is a NIR multi-integral field spectrograph dedicated to the E-ELT and under phase A study. I will then summarize results of simulations conducted to derive high level requirements for the instrument. In particular, I will detail how we have derived specifications for the ensquared energy that the AO system needs to provide to reach the scientific goals of the instrument.
