Abstract Accelerated testing of white thermal control coatings was performed using the high intensity UV radiation generated by a synchrotron and resulting in a substantial shortening of test times. The origin of coloration of metal oxides upon UV irradiation has been identified to be most likely a generation of oxygen vacancies connected with the appearance of colour centers in the crystal lattice.
