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
