Tilt-to-length coupling in LISA Pathfinder: a data analysis
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
We present a study of the tilt-to-length coupling noise during the LISA Pathfinder mission and how it depended on the system's alignment. Tilt-to-length coupling noise is the unwan…
Spacecraft and interplanetary contributions to the magnetic environment on-board LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +79
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) has been a space-based mission designed to test new technologies that will be required for a gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetically driven forc…
Forbush decreases and 2-day GCR flux non-recurrent variations studied with LISA Pathfinder
C. Grimani, M. Armano, H. Audley +82
Non-recurrent short term variations of the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux above 70 MeV n were observed between 2016 February 18 and 2017 July 3 aboard the European Space Age…
LISA Pathfinder
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
Since the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the observation of gravitational waves, it is fair to say that the epoch of gravitational wave astronomy (GWs) has begun. Howe…
LISA Pathfinder Platform Stability and Drag-free Performance
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
The science operations of the LISA Pathfinder mission has demonstrated the feasibility of sub-femto-g free-fall of macroscopic test masses necessary to build a LISA-like gravitatio…
Experimental results from the ST7 mission on LISA Pathfinder
G Anderson, J Anderson, M Anderson +145
The Space Technology 7 Disturbance Reduction System (ST7-DRS) is a NASA technology demonstration payload that operated from January 2016 through July of 2017 on the European Space…
Precision Charge Control for Isolated Free-Falling Test Masses: LISA Pathfinder Results
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
The LISA Pathfinder charge management device was responsible for neutralising the cosmic ray induced electric charge that inevitably accumulated on the free-falling test masses at…
Calibrating the system dynamics of LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +75
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a European Space Agency mission with the aim to test key technologies for future space-borne gravitational-wave observatories like LISA. The main scientif…
Characteristics and energy dependence of recurrent galactic cosmic-ray flux depressions and of a Forbush decrease with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) energy spectra observed in the inner heliosphere are modulated by the solar activity, the solar polarity and structures of solar and interplanetary origin…
Measuring the Galactic Cosmic Ray Flux with the LISA Pathfinder Radiation Monitor
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
Test mass charging caused by cosmic rays will be a significant source of acceleration noise for space-based gravitational wave detectors like LISA. Operating between December 2015…
Constraints on LISA Pathfinder's self-gravity: design requirements, estimates and testing procedures
Valerio Ferroni
LISA Pathfinder satellite has been launched on 3th December 2015 toward the Sun-Earth first Lagrangian point (L1) where the LISA Technology Package (LTP), which is the main science…
Optimal design of calibration signals in space borne gravitational wave detectors
M. Nofrarias, N. Karnesis, F. Gibert +17
Future space borne gravitational wave detectors will require a precise definition of calibration signals to ensure the achievement of their design sensitivity. The careful design o…
Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…
