Astrometry with MCAO: HST-GeMS proper motions in the globular cluster NGC 6681

Astrometry with MCAO: HST-GeMS proper motions in the globular cluster NGC 6681

Aims. For the first time the astrometric capabilities of the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) facility at the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) camera on Gemini-South are tested to quantify the accuracy in determining stellar proper motions in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6681.
