Abstract
We present a segment-level wavefront stability error budget for the LUVOIR A architecture essential for exoplanet detection. We start with a detailed finite element model to relate the temperature and gravity gradients at the location of the primary mirror to wavefront variations for each segment, and propagate the elements through a diffractive model of the observatory and coronagraphic instrument. Segment level errors are measured via a model of the WFS&C architecture in combination with a Zernike phase sensor and science camera. These sensitivities are used to relate semi-analytically the open and closed loop variance of the segments’ thermo-mechanical modes.
