Tilt-to-length coupling in LISA Pathfinder: long-term stability

M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +75

The tilt-to-length coupling during the LISA Pathfinder mission has been numerically and analytically modeled for particular timespans. In this work, we investigate the long-term st…

In-depth analysis of LISA Pathfinder performance results: Time evolution, noise projection, physical models, and implications for LISA

M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +77

We present an in-depth analysis of the LISA Pathfinder differential acceleration performance over the entire course of its science operations, spanning approximately 500 days. We f…

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…
