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…
