Bayesian Model Selection for LISA Pathfinder
Nikolaos Karnesis, Miquel Nofrarias, Carlos F. Sopuerta +11
The main goal of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission is to fully characterize the acceleration noise models and to test key technologies for future space-based gravitational-wave obs…
The interaction between stray electrostatic fields and a charged free-falling test mass
F. Antonucci, A. Cavalleri, R. Dolesi +5
We present an experimental analysis of force noise caused by stray electrostatic fields acting on a charged test mass inside a conducting enclosure, a key problem for precise gravi…
Brownian force noise from molecular collisions and the sensitivity of advanced gravitational wave observatories
R. Dolesi, M. Hueller, D. Nicolodi +12
We present an analysis of Brownian force noise from residual gas damping of reference test masses as a fundamental sensitivity limit in small force experiments. The resulting accel…
Increased Brownian force noise from molecular impacts in a constrained volume
A. Cavalleri, G. Ciani, R. Dolesi +8
We report on residual gas damping of the motion of a macroscopic test mass enclosed in a nearby housing in the molecular flow regime. The damping coefficient, and thus the associat…
Measuring random force noise for LISA aboard the LISA Pathfinder mission
D. Bortoluzzi, L. Carbone, A. Cavalleri +6
The LTP (LISA Testflight Package), to be flown aboard the ESA / NASA LISA Pathfinder mission, aims to demonstrate drag-free control for LISA test masses with acceleration noise bel…
Achieving geodetic motion for LISA test masses: ground testing result
L. Carbone, A. Cavalleri, R. Dolesi +4
The low-frequency resolution of space-based gravitational wave observatories such as LISA (Laser Interferometry Space Antenna) hinges on the orbital purity of a free-falling refere…
