What (who) is K-band multi-object spectrograph - definition
K-band multi-object spectrograph
INSTRUMENT MOUNTED ON ESO’S VERY LARGE TELESCOPE
K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph
The K-band multi-object spectrograph, or KMOS for short, is an instrument mounted on ESO’s Very Large Telescope Antu (UT1) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile. KMOS is able to observe 24 objects at the same time in infrared light and to map out how their properties vary from place to place.

WIDE FIELD IMAGER AND A MULTI-OBJECT SPECTROGRAPH INSTALLED AT THE EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY'S VERY LARGE TELESCOPE
VIMOS; Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph
The Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) is a wide field imager and a multi-object spectrograph installed at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT), in Chile. The instrument used for deep astronomical surveys delivers visible images and spectra of up to 1,000 galaxies at a time.
