Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna
Jan Harms, Filippo Ambrosino, Lorella Angelini +51
Monitoring of vibrational eigenmodes of an elastic body excited by gravitational waves was one of the first concepts proposed for the detection of gravitational waves. At laborator…
Satellite Laser Ranging and General Relativity measurements in the field of the Earth: state of the art and perspectives
David Lucchesi, Luciano Anselmo, Massimo Bassan +6
Recent results of the LARASE research program in terms of models improvements and relativistic measurements are presented. In particular, the results regarding the development of n…
Torsion pendulum revisited
Massimo Bassan, Fabrizio De Marchi, Lorenzo Marconi +3
We present an analysis of the motion of a simple torsion pendulum and we describe how, with straightforward extensions to the usual basic dynamical model, we succeed in explaining…
A quasi-complete mechanical model for a double torsion pendulum
Fabrizio De Marchi, Giuseppe Pucacco, Massimo Bassan +8
We present a dynamical model for the double torsion pendulum nicknamed PETER, where one torsion pendulum hangs in cascade, but off-axis, from the other. The dynamics of interest in…
Automatic Mirror Alignment for VIRGO: First experimental demonstration of the Anderson technique on a large-scale interferometer
A. Freise
The French-Italian interferometric gravitational wave detector VIRGO is currently being commissioned. Its principal instrument is a Michelson laser interferometer with 3 km long op…
Inertial control of the mirror suspensions of the VIRGO interferometer for gravitational wave detection
G. Losurdo, G. Calamai, E. Cuoco +32
In order to achieve full detection sensitivity at low frequencies, the mirrors of interferometric gravitational wave detectors must be isolated from seismic noise. The VIRGO vibrat…
Noise parametric identification and whitening for LIGO 40-meter interferometer data
Elena Cuoco, Giovanni Losurdo, Giovanni Calamai +5
We report the analysis we made on data taken by Caltech 40-meter prototype interferometer to identify the noise power spectral density and to whiten the sequence of noise. We conce…
On line power spectra identification and whitening for the noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
E. Cuoco, G. Calamai, L. Fabbroni +4
In this paper we address both to the problem of identifying the noise Power Spectral Density of interferometric detectors by parametric techniques and to the problem of the whiteni…
