Mitigating print-through effects through an optimized method for CFRP mirror production in Chile
S. Castillo, G. Hamilton, N. Soto +9
In the manufacturing process of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) mirrors (replicated from a mandrel) the orientation of the unidirectional carbon fiber layers (layup) has a d…
NPF update: Light-weight mirror development in Chile
A. Bayo, P. Mardones, S. Castillo +10
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…
NPF: mirror development in Chile
Sebastián Zúñiga-Fernández, Amelia Bayo, Johan Olofsson +14
In the era of high-angular resolution astronomical instrumentation, where long and very long baseline interferometers (constituted by many, 20 or more, telescopes) are expec…
VLTI status update: a decade of operations and beyond
Antoine Merand, Roberto Abuter, Emmanuel Aller-Carpentier +44
We present the latest update of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope interferometer (VLTI). The operations of VLTI have greatly improved in the past years: redu…
