Future facilities and deep surveys such as LSST, JWST and WFIRST, will require a network of standards faint enough to avoid saturation and homogenously distributed in both hemispheres. DA white dwarfs have almost pure hydrogen atmospheres and they are the simplest stars to model. The opacities are known from first principles, and for temperatures higher than ∼ 20,000 K, their photospheres are purely radiative and should be photometrically stable. DA white dwarfs are then the best candidates to establish a network of faint spectrophotometric standards. In order to provide standards in the dynamic range of large aperture (d > 4m) telescopes, we collected Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 images and ground-based spectroscopy for 23 DA white dwarfs fainter than r ∼ 16.5 mag, distributed at equatorial and northern latitudes (see Saha et al. in these conference proceedings).

Flexible Support

Structural design of large aperture mirror is one of the key technologies for space telescope development. To meet the requirements of high stiffness, strength and thermal dimensional stability, some factors such as support scheme, materials selection, lightweight design and flexible support design were taken into account. The three supports location of the mirror was determined according to the modal analytical solution. By adjusting the parameters of flexure hinge, influences of gravity, assembly stress and thermal stress on the mirror were reduced obviously. Finite element analysis (FEA) results indicate that the surface accuracy reach to rms10.2nm and 10.8nm under the gravity along optical axis direction and 5°C uniform temperature rise respectively, the fundamental frequency of the mirror component is 268Hz. Dynamics test shows that the first order natural frequency is 256Hz, which shows an error less than 5% compared to FEA results.
