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…
Quantitative Analysis of LISA Pathfinder Test Mass Noise
Luigi Ferraioli, Martin Hewitson, Giuseppe Congedo +4
In this paper we discuss two main problems associated with the analysis of the data from LISA Pathfinder (LPF): i) Excess noise detection and ii) Noise parameter identification. Th…
Parameter estimation in LISA Pathfinder operational exercises
M. Nofrarias, L. Ferraioli, G. Congedo +6
The LISA Pathfinder data analysis team has been developing in the last years the infrastructure and methods required to run the mission during flight operations. These are gathered…
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…
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…
