Tilt-to-length coupling in LISA Pathfinder: long-term stability
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +75
The tilt-to-length coupling during the LISA Pathfinder mission has been numerically and analytically modeled for particular timespans. In this work, we investigate the long-term st…
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…
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…
Transient acceleration events in LISA Pathfinder data: properties and possible physical origin
LISA Pathfinder Collaboration
We present an in depth analysis of the transient events, or glitches, detected at a rate of about one per day in the differential acceleration data of LISA Pathfinder. We show that…
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…
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…
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…
Charge-induced force-noise on free-falling test masses: results from LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +91
We report on electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder. Detailed measurements of the charge-induced electrostatic forces exerted on…
