Abstract

In 2021, Gemini Observatory completed a wide field Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) feasibility study for its site on MaunaKea. The GLAO system or Gemini 2.0 project, is expected to improve our image quality by at least a factor of two, under any natural seeing conditions for all GN instruments’ operating spectral ranges whenever laser propagation is possible. This proceeding will introduce our first estimated GLAO expected performances, the preliminary science cases analysis results and our proposed system architecture for Gemini 2.0.
