Spacecraft and interplanetary contributions to the magnetic environment on-board LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +79
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) has been a space-based mission designed to test new technologies that will be required for a gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetically driven forc…
LISA Pathfinder Performance Confirmed in an Open-Loop Configuration: Results from the Free-Fall Actuation Mode
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +75
We report on the results of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) free-fall mode experiment, in which the control force needed to compensate the quasistatic differential force acting on two te…
Temperature stability in the sub-milliHertz band with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +79
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a technology pioneering mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. In the low frequency regime (milli-H…
Forbush decreases and 2-day GCR flux non-recurrent variations studied with LISA Pathfinder
C. Grimani, M. Armano, H. Audley +82
Non-recurrent short term variations of the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux above 70 MeV n were observed between 2016 February 18 and 2017 July 3 aboard the European Space Age…
Precision Charge Control for Isolated Free-Falling Test Masses: LISA Pathfinder Results
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
The LISA Pathfinder charge management device was responsible for neutralising the cosmic ray induced electric charge that inevitably accumulated on the free-falling test masses at…
Calibrating the system dynamics of LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +75
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a European Space Agency mission with the aim to test key technologies for future space-borne gravitational-wave observatories like LISA. The main scientif…
Characteristics and energy dependence of recurrent galactic cosmic-ray flux depressions and of a Forbush decrease with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) energy spectra observed in the inner heliosphere are modulated by the solar activity, the solar polarity and structures of solar and interplanetary origin…
Measuring the Galactic Cosmic Ray Flux with the LISA Pathfinder Radiation Monitor
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
Test mass charging caused by cosmic rays will be a significant source of acceleration noise for space-based gravitational wave detectors like LISA. Operating between December 2015…
Charge-induced force-noise on free-falling test masses: results from LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +91
We report on electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder. Detailed measurements of the charge-induced electrostatic forces exerted on…
Optimal design of calibration signals in space borne gravitational wave detectors
M. Nofrarias, N. Karnesis, F. Gibert +17
Future space borne gravitational wave detectors will require a precise definition of calibration signals to ensure the achievement of their design sensitivity. The careful design o…
Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…
Thermo-elastic induced phase noise in the LISA Pathfinder spacecraft

During the On-Station Thermal Test campaign of the LISA Pathfinder the data and diagnostics subsystem was tested in nearly space conditions for the first time after integration in…
Data series subtraction with unknown and unmodeled background noise
Stefano Vitale, Giuseppe Congedo, Rita Dolesi +20
LISA Pathfinder (LPF), ESA's precursor mission to a gravitational wave observatory, will measure the degree to which two test-masses can be put into free-fall, aiming to demonstrat…
