The surface figure of the primary mirror in a large aperture telescope is one of the key factors influencing imaging quality. Space telescopes are used in weightless environments, which is different from the ground environment for optical machining and testing. Therefore the effect of the deformation induced by gravity on the imaging quality is not negligible and the mirror support is to be carefully designed to unload the gravity during the course of machining and testing. In this paper, finite element analysis software is adopted to simulate and compare the deformation induced by gravity of a metre-scale aspheric lightweight primary mirror with different support methods and different working conditions. The results are then imported into MetroPro software supplied by ZYGO Corporation, to remove the tilts and rigid body motion of the mirror and calculate the primary aberrations from the deformation. Finally, sensitivity analysis of support deformation is implemented and the principles of mirror support design are summarized. The research is instructive for design, machining and testing of large aperture mirrors.

For a large-aperture space telescope, one of the key techniques is the method for designing the lightweight primary mirror assembly (PMA). In order to minimize the mirror surface error under axial gravity, lateral gravity, and polishing pressure at the same time, a method for topology optimization with multi-objective function combined with parametric optimization is introduced in this paper. The weighted compliance minimum is selected as the objective function to maximum the mirror structural stiffness. Then sensitivity analysis method and size optimization are used to determine the mirror structure parameters. Compared with two types of commonly used lightweight configurations, the new configuration design shows obvious superiority. In addition, the surface figure root mean square (RMS) of the mirror mounted by given bipod flexure (BF) under 1 g lateral gravity is minimized only with a value of 3.58 nm, which proves the effectiveness of the design method proposed in this paper.

This paper reviews the evidence for a secondary transfer effect of intergroup contact. Following a contact’s typical primary reduction in prejudice toward the outgroup involved in the contact, this effect involves a further, secondary reduction in prejudice toward noninvolved outgroups. Employing longitudinal German probability samples, we found that significant secondary transfer effects of intergroup contact exist, but they were limited to specific outgroups that are similar to the contacted outgroup in perceived stereotypes, status or stigma. Since the contact-prejudice link is bidirectional, the effect is inflated when prior prejudice reducing contact is not controlled. The strongest evidence derives from experimental research. Both cognitive (dissonance) and affective (evaluative conditioning) explanations for the effect are offered.
