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 کاملThe relationship between reference canopy conductance and simplified hydraulic architecture
Terrestrial ecosystems are dominated by vascular plants that form a mosaic of hydraulic conduits to water movement from the soil to the atmosphere. Together with canopy leaf area, canopy stomatal conductance regulates plant water use and thereby photosynthesis and growth. Although stomatal conductance is coordinated with plant hydraulic conductance, governing relationships across species has no...
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 کاملA High Sensitivity Heterodyne Interferometer as a Possible Optical Readout for the Lisa Gravitational Reference Sensor and Its Application to Technology Verification
The gravitational wave detector LISA utilizes as current baseline a high sensitivity Optical Readout (ORO) for measuring the relative position and tilt of a free flying proof mass with respect to the satellite housing. The required sensitivities in the frequency band from 30μHz to 1Hz are ∼ pm/√Hz for the translation and ∼ nrad/√Hz for the tilt measurement. EADS Astrium, in collaboration with t...
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 ...
