A Local Lorentz Invariance test with LAGEOS satellites
David Lucchesi, Massimo Visco, Roberto Peron +11
Strong theoretical arguments suggest that a breakdown of Lorentz Invariance could arise under some very particular conditions. From an experimental point of view, it is important t…
Testing Local Lorentz Invariance with Laser Tracking of the LAGEOS and LAGEOS II Satellites
David Lucchesi, Massimo Visco, Roberto Peron +11
Violations of Lorentz Invariance, a cornerstone of modern physics, are predicted by theories of quantum gravity and by extensions of General Relativity involving new vector or tens…
Dark gravitomagnetism with LISA and gravitational waves space detectors
Angelo Tartaglia, Massimo Bassan, Giuseppe Pucacco +2
We present here the proposal to use the LISA interferometer for detecting the gravito-magnetic field due to the rotation of the Milky Way, including the contribution given by the d…
An improved measurement of the Lense-Thirring precession on the orbits of laser-ranged satellites with an accuracy approaching the 1% level
David M. Lucchesi, Massimo Visco, Roberto Peron +5
We present a new measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect on the orbits of the geodetic satellites LAGEOS, LAGEOS II and LARES. This secular precession is a general relativity effe…
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…
Optimizing the Earth-LISA "rendez-vous"
Fabrizio De Marchi, Giuseppe Pucacco, Massimo Bassan
We present a general survey of heliocentric LISA orbits, hoping it might help in the exercise of rescoping the mission. We try to semi-analytically optimize the orbital parameters…
Autonomous perturbations of LISA orbits
Giuseppe Pucacco, Massimo Bassan, Massimo Visco
We investigate autonomous perturbations on the orbits of LISA, namely the effects produced by fields that can be expressed only in terms of the position, but not of time in the Hil…
