An NOAO Survey program (2011-2014)
acquired Laser
Guide Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) imaging data at the
8 meter Gemini Telescopes.
The project was led by W. Grundy, H. Roe, and S. Porter at Lowell
Observatory, in collaboration with C. Trujillo at Gemini Observatory
and K. Noll at NASA GSFC, and was funded in part by a grant from the
National Science Foundation.
