Performance of near-infrared high-contrast imaging methods with JWST from commissioning
Carter, Aarynn L.; Perrin, Marshall D.; Pueyo, Laurent +12 more
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will revolutionize the field of high-contrast imaging and enable both the direct detection of Saturn-mass planets and the characterization of substellar companions in the mid-infrared. While JWST will feature unprecedented sensitivity, angular resolution will be the key factor when competing with ground-based …
The past decade of ZERODUR glass-ceramics in space applications
Krieg, Janina; Carré, Antoine; Döhring, Thorsten +4 more
For the past four decades, ZERODUR® glass ceramics has flown on many satellites including the prominent space missions METEOSAT, Hubble Space Telescope, CHANDRA, and LISA pathfinder. Firstly, this unique material is chosen as mirror substrate for high precision optics due to its extreme thermal stability. Its near-zero thermal expansion over a wid…
