Gems first science results

After 101 nights of commissioning, the Gemini MCAO system (GeMS) started science operations in December 2012. After a brief reminder on GeMS specificities, we describe the overall GeMS performance, and we focus then on the first science results obtained with GeMS, illustrating the unique capabilities of this new Gemini instrument.
