Abstract

Two years after its first light in 2011, GeMS, the Gemini Multi conjugate adaptive optics System achieved the science verification process and started queue observations. From the Adaptive Optics (AO) point of view it is time to summarize the performance provided by the system after more than 6 months of science on very different observing conditions. We present a statistical study of the overall performance from the AO data recorded by the GeMS telemetry. In particular we study the seeing and LGS photon return performance dependency and conclude on the current limitations of the system.
