We present the KMOS Galaxy Evolution Survey (KGES), a K -band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) study of the Hα and [N ii] emission from 288 K band-selected galaxies at 1.2 ≲ z ≲ 1.8, with stellar masses in the range log10(M∗/M⊙)≈9 – 11.5. In this paper, we describe the survey design, present the sam...
