Scientific paper

The zero expansion glass ceramic material, ZERODUR®, is well known for night-time telescope mirror substrates. Also for solar telescopes ZERODUR® is often selected as mirror blank material. Examples are the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope (SST), the balloon-born telescope SUNRISE, and the New Solar Telescope (NST) of the Big Bear Solar Observatory. The properties of ZERODUR® are discussed with respect to the special technical requirements of solar observatories, resulting in the conclusion that mirrors made of this glass ceramic material are an excellent choice for solar telescopes.
