This study by Gregory Hart and Steve Turley at BYU delves into the complex phenomena of rough surface reflections in extreme ultraviolet (XUV) imaging. The research highlights why understanding these reflections matters for applications in astronomy and technology. By examining low reflectance surfaces and using numerical methods, the team correlates random roughness effects to improve imaging techniques. Acknowledgements go to collaborators in the Fulton Supercomputing Lab, emphasizing the role of parallel processing in handling these intricate cases.
