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…
Heater induced thermal effects on the LTP dynamics
Ferran Gibert, Miquel Nofrarias, Alberto Lobo +7
The STOC (Science and Technology Operations Centre) simulator of the LPF (LISA PathFinder) mission is intended to provide a validation tool for the mission operations tele-commandi…
Closed loop simulations of the thermal experiments in LISA Pathfinder
Ferran Gibert, Miquel Nofrarias, Nikolaos Karnesis +6
The thermal experiments to be carried out onboard LISA Pathfinder (LPF) will provide essential information of the dependences of the instrument with respect to temperature variatio…
STE-QUEST - Test of the Universality of Free Fall Using Cold Atom Interferometry
D. Aguilera, H. Ahlers, B. Battelier +63
The theory of general relativity describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity while quantum mechanics brilliantly accounts for microscopic effects. Despite th…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
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…
