Scientific paper

The figure stability of 16 spherical Al or Al-alloy mirrors of 515 mm diameter was tested in a thermal cycling experiment. The optical analysis was done by the Shack-Hartmann method. The general conclusion is that Al or Al-alloys are suitable for the fabrication of telescope mirrors, if, apart from the choice of the material and precautions during the fabrication, the blank is thermally stabilized before the final polishing.
