The Next-Generation Adaptive Optics Facility for Gemini North

The Gemini North Adaptive Optics (GNAO) project will provide the Gemini North telescope with a state-of-the-art AO facility for survey, time-domain, and general-purpose science in the era of Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) operations. GNAO is supported by the Gemini in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy (GEMMA) program funded by NSF to advance the leadership role of the Gemini telescopes in high-resolution, time-domain, and multi-messenger astronomy.Issue 3, June 202
