Planet Formation research is blooming in an era where we are moving from speaking about "protoplanetary disks" to "planet forming disks" (Andrews et al., 2018). However, this trans…
Quality control of the CFRP mirror manufacturing process at NPF
N. Soto, C. Lobos, P. Mardones +11
The surface quality of replicated CFRP mirrors is ideally expected to be as good as the mandrel from which they are manufactured. In practice, a number of factors produce surface i…
