Identification of Resonant Frequencies in LIGO-like Suspension with Finite-Element Modeling
Orion Sauter, Ninad Bhagwat, John Conklin +1
Following the upgrades to Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), measurements were made of the detector suspensions' frequency response characteristics. While most resonant frequencies could be id…
A Simplified Gravitational Reference Sensor for Satellite Geodesy
Anthony Davila Alvarez, Aaron Knudtson, Unmil Patel +16
We describe a Simplified Gravitational Reference Sensor (S-GRS), an ultra-precise inertial sensor for future Earth geodesy missions. These sensors are used to measure or compensate…
Numerical Modeling and Experimental Demonstration of Pulsed Charge Control for the Space Inertial Sensor used in LISA
Henri Inchauspé, Taiwo Olatunde, Stephen Apple +6
Electrostatic charge control of isolated free-falling test masses is a key enabling technology for space-based gravitational missions. Contact-free electrostatic charge control can…
Building A Field: The Future of Astronomy with Gravitational Waves, A State of The Profession Consideration for Astro2020
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Joey Shapiro Key, Brittany Kamai +28
Harnessing the sheer discovery potential of gravitational wave astronomy will require bold, deliberate, and sustained efforts to train and develop the requisite workforce. The next…
Charge Induced Acceleration Noise in the LISA Gravitational Reference Sensor
Timothy J Sumner, Guido Mueller, John W Conklin +2
The presence of free charge on isolated proof-masses, such as those within space-borne gravitational reference sensors, causes a number of spurious forces which will give rise to a…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna: Unveiling the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Sky
John Baker, Jillian Bellovary, Peter L. Bender +39
The first terrestrial gravitational wave interferometers have dramatically underscored the scientific value of observing the Universe through an entirely different window, and of f…
