Abstract
The temperature (T) and the temperature change with time (∂T/∂t) are the basic parameters in the discussion of the thermal behavior of a structural component. The temperature of a component defines, on the one hand, the heat transfer to other components of the telescope, the enclosure, and the environment, and on the other hand, the thermal expansion of a component and by this a possible force introduced in the structure.
