LISA Gravitational Reference Sensors
We review state of the art of the gravitational reference sensor (GRS) for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). LISA consists of three identical spacecraft placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with a 5 million kilometer baseline. In the LISA baseline design, the spacecraft at each corner will have two optical assemblies subtending an angle of 60 degrees. A proof mass (PM) ...
متن کاملCapacitance Position Sensor for LISA Noise Measurement
This paper discusses two techniques investigated for use in a capacitance-based position sensor for the Eöt-Wash LISA noise measurement. The advantages and disadvantages of both techniques are reviewed and some elementary mathematical analysis is presented. A prototype implementation based on the more successful of the two techniques has been constructed.
متن کاملCharge-Induced Force Noise on Free-Falling Test Masses: Results from LISA Pathfinder.
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 free-falling test masses (TMs) inside the capacitive gravitational reference sensor are the first made in a relevant environment for a space-based gravitational wave detector. Employing a combination of charge contro...
متن کاملLISA: Probing the Universe with Gravitational Waves
Thanks to the many other members and friends of the LISA science community who provided valuable input and suggestions. The New Science of Gravitational Waves Einstein's theory of spacetime and gravity, general relativity, predicts that motions of mass produce propagating vibrations that travel through spacetime at the speed of light. These gravita-tional waves (as the vibrations are called) ar...
متن کاملAdvanced gravitational reference sensor for high precision space interferometers
LISA and the next generation of space-based laser interferometers require gravitational reference sensors (GRS) to provide distance measurements to picometre precision for LISA, and femtometre precision for the proposed Big Bang Observatory (BBO). We describe a stand-alone GRS structure that has the benefits of higher sensitivity and ease of fabrication. The proposed GRS structure enables high ...
