The K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) is an astronomical instrument designed to obtain spectra from multiple astronomical objects simultaneously in the K-band of the near-infrared spectrum, which spans wavelengths from approximately 1.95 to 2.45 micrometers. KMOS is usually mounted on large ground-based telescopes, such as the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.
