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…

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…
