Angular Resolution of the LISA Gravitational Wave Detector
We calculate the angular resolution of the planned LISA detector, a space-based laser interferometer for measuring low-frequency gravitational waves from galactic and extragalactic sources. LISA is not a pointed instrument; it is an all-sky monitor with a quadrupolar beam pattern. LISA will measure simultaneously both polarization components of incoming gravitational waves, so the data will con...
متن کاملAngular resolution of LISA
LISA is a space-borne, laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector currently under study by the European Space Agency. We give a brief introduction about the main features of the detector, concentrating on its one-year orbital motion around the Sun. We show that the amplitude as well as the phase of a gravitational wave is modulated due to that motion, allowing us to extract information f...
متن کاملThe Angular Resolution of Space-Based Gravitational Wave Detectors
The era of gravitational astronomy is nearly here. In the next few years, ground-based laser gravitational wave detectors will begin to come on line and, it is hoped, space-based detectors will soon follow. Even if the ground-based detectors do not succeed in detecting the waves within the next decade, the space-based detectors will certainly be able to, so the physics goal of the detection of ...

متن کاملAngular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational-wave detector.
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer's core optics at LIGO Hanford Observatory. This is the first measurement of this effect in a complete gravitational-wave interferometer. Only one of the two angular modes survives with feedback control, because the other mode is ...
