Lisa Interferometer Sensitivity to Spacecraft Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study has been performed to assess the sensitivity of the LISA interferometer to motion of the spacecraft (S/C) with respect to the proof mass. The results are presented as a functions of arm length and Fourier frequency. In addition different optical arrangements have been analysed and their effects on the cancellation of the spacecraft motion is discussed.

Unequal arm space-borne gravitational wave detectors
Abstract Unlike ground-based interferometric gravitational wave detectors, large space-based systems will not be rigid structures. When the end-stations of the laser interferometer are freely flying spacecraft, the armlengths will change due to variations in the spacecraft positions along their orbital trajectories, so the precise equality of the arms that is required in a laboratory interferom...
متن کاملTime-delay analysis of LISA gravitational wave data: Elimination of spacecraft motion effects
LISA ~Laser Interferometer Space Antenna! is a proposed mission which will use coherent laser beams exchanged between three remote spacecraft to detect and study low-frequency cosmic gravitational radiation. Modeling each spacecraft as moving almost inertially, rigidly carrying a laser, beam splitters and photodetectors, we previously showed how the measured time series of Doppler shifts of the...
متن کاملLISA Benchtop Experiment
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to launch in the middle of the next decade. LISA will detect gravitational waves generated by sources ranging from galactic sources like neutron star and white dwarf binaries to mergers between super-massive black holes in the centers of colliding galaxies. LISA will consist of six freely-falling proof masses shielded by three identical ...
متن کاملData Processing for LISA’s Laser Interferometer Tracking System (LITS)
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we will present recent results [1] on the data processing for LISA, including algorithms for elimination of clock jitter noise and discussion of the generation of the data averages that will eventually need to be telemetered to the ground. Second, we will argue, based partly on these results, that a laser interferometer tracking system (LITS) that em...
متن کامل6 A ug 2 00 9 Relativistic versus Newtonian orbit model : the Relativistic Motion Integrator ( RMI ) software . Illustration with the LISA mission
Abstract. The Relativistic Motion Integrator (RMI) consists in integrating numerically the EXACT relativistic equations of motion, for a given metric (corresponding to a gravitational field at first post-Newtonian order or higher), instead of Newtonian equations plus relativistic corrections. The aim of the present paper is to validate the method, and to illustrate how RMI can be used for space...
