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…
Precision measurements of the magnetic parameters of LISA Pathfinder test masses
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
A precise characterization of the magnetic properties of LISA Pathfinder free falling test-masses is of special interest for future gravitational wave observatory in space. Magneti…
Magnetic-induced force noise in LISA Pathfinder free-falling test masses
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
LISA Pathfinder was a mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sen…
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…
NanoNewton electrostatic force actuators for femtoNewton-sensitive measurements: system performance test in the LISA Pathfinder mission
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +87
Electrostatic force actuation is a key component of the system of geodesic reference test masses (TM) for the LISA orbiting gravitational wave observatory and in particular for per…
Tilt-to-length coupling in LISA Pathfinder: a data analysis
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
We present a study of the tilt-to-length coupling noise during the LISA Pathfinder mission and how it depended on the system's alignment. Tilt-to-length coupling noise is the unwan…
Charging of free-falling test masses in orbit due to cosmic rays: results from LISA Pathfinder
LISA Pathfinder Collaboration, M. Armano, H. Audley +72
A comprehensive summary of the measurements made to characterize test mass charging due to the space environment during the LISA Pathfinder mission is presented. Measurements of th…
Transient acceleration events in LISA Pathfinder data: properties and possible physical origin
LISA Pathfinder Collaboration
We present an in depth analysis of the transient events, or glitches, detected at a rate of about one per day in the differential acceleration data of LISA Pathfinder. We show that…
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…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
From laboratory experiments to LISA Pathfinder: achieving LISA geodesic motion
F Antonucci, M Armano, H Audley +98
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the performance of the upcoming LISA Pathfinder geodesic explorer mission. The findings are based on the results of extensive groun…
