A quick algorithm to compute an approximated power spectral density from an arbitrary Allan deviation
Fabrizio De Marchi, Michael K. Plumaris, Eric A. Burt +1
Complex architectures for wireless communications, digital electronics and space-based navigation interlink several oscillator-based devices such as clocks, transponders and synthe…
Testing the gravitational redshift with an inner Solar System probe: the VERITAS case
Fabrizio De Marchi, Gael Cascioli, Todd Ely +4
The NASA Discovery-class mission VERITAS, selected in June 2021, will be launched towards Venus after 2027. In addition to the science instrumentation that will build global founda…
Space tests of the strong equivalence principle: BepiColombo and the Sun-Earth Lagrangian points opportunity
Fabrizio De Marchi, Giuseppe Congedo
The validity of General Relativity, after 100 years, is supported by solid experimental evidence. However, there is a lot of interest in pushing the limits of precision by other ex…
Testing the Strong Equivalence Principle with spacecraft ranging towards the nearby Lagrangian points
Giuseppe Congedo, Fabrizio De Marchi
General relativity is supported by great experimental evidence. Yet there is a lot of interest in precisely setting its limits with on going and future experiments. A question to a…
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…
An HST search for planets in the lower Main Sequence of the globular cluster NGC 6397
V. Nascimbeni, L. R. Bedin, G. Piotto +2
Searches for planetary transits carried out in open and globular clusters have yielded to date only a handful of weak, unconfirmed candidates. These results have been interpreted e…
Analysis of the residual force noise for the LISA Technology Package
Luigi Ferraioli, Michele Armano, Giuseppe Congedo +10
The analysis of the noise sources perturbing a test mass (TM) geodesic motion is the main scientific objective of the LISA Technology Package experiment (LTP) on board of the LISA…
Time domain maximum likelihood parameter estimation in LISA Pathfinder Data Analysis
G. Congedo, L. Ferraioli, M. Hueller +5
LISA is the upcoming space-based Gravitational Wave telescope. LISA Pathfinder, to be launched in the coming years, will prove and verify the detection principle of the fundamental…
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…
From laboratory experiments to LISA Pathfinder: achieving LISA geodesic motion
F Antonucci, M Armano, H Audley +98
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the performance of the upcoming LISA Pathfinder geodesic explorer mission. The findings are based on the results of extensive groun…
VLT multi-epoch radial velocity survey toward NGC 6253. Analysis of three transiting planetary candidates
M. Montalto, S. Villanova, J. Koppenhoefer
We measured the radial velocity of 139 stars in the region of NGC 6253, discussing cluster's membership and binarity in this sample, complementing our analysis with photometric, pr…
Modulation of LISA free-fall orbits due to the Earth-Moon system
M. Cerdonio, F. De Marchi, R. De Pietri +5
We calculate the effect of the Earth-Moon (EM) system on the free-fall motion of LISA test masses. We show that the periodic gravitational pulling of the EM system induces a resona…
Effects of Interplanetary Dust on the LISA drag-free Constellation
Massimo Cerdonio, Fabrizio De Marchi, Roberto De Pietri +5
The analysis of non-radiative sources of static or time-dependent gravitational fields in the Solar System is crucial to accurately estimate the free-fall orbits of the LISA space…
The first search for variable stars in the open cluster NGC 6253 and its surrounding field
Fabrizio De Marchi, Ennio Poretti, Marco Montalto +2
This work presents the first high-precision variability survey in the field of the intermediate-age, metal--rich open cluster NGC 6253. Clusters of this type are benchmarks for ste…
BVRIJHK photometry and proper motion analysis of NGC 6253 and the surrounding field
M. Montalto, G. Piotto, S. Desidera +5
Context. We present a photometric and astrometric catalog of 187963 stars located in the field around the old super-metal-rich Galactic open cluster NGC 6253. The total field-of-vi…
