LISA Pathfinder
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
Since the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the observation of gravitational waves, it is fair to say that the epoch of gravitational wave astronomy (GWs) has begun. Howe…
The 10m AEI prototype facility A brief overview
Tobias Westphal, Gerald Bergmann, Alessandro Bertolini +24
The AEI 10 m prototype interferometer facility is currently being constructed at the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany. It aims to perform experiments for future gravi…

The zodiacal dust complex, a population of dust and small particles that pervades the Solar System, provides important insight into the formation and dynamics of planets, comets, a…
LISA Pathfinder Platform Stability and Drag-free Performance
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
The science operations of the LISA Pathfinder mission has demonstrated the feasibility of sub-femto-g free-fall of macroscopic test masses necessary to build a LISA-like gravitatio…
Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Heather Audley, Stanislav Babak +81
Following the selection of The Gravitational Universe by ESA, and the successful flight of LISA Pathfinder, the LISA Consortium now proposes a 4 year mission in response to ESA's c…
Demonstrating sub-picometer non-reciprocity levels in the Three-Backlink Experiment for LISA
Jiang Ji Ho-Zhang, Melanie Ast, Lea Bischof +9
The current planned space-based gravitational-wave detectors require a bidirectional optical connection, referred to as Backlink, between two adjacent optical benches to provide a…
