The LISA Pathfinder mission
In this paper, we describe the current status of the LISA Pathfinder mission, a precursor mission aimed at demonstrating key technologies for future spacebased gravitational wave detectors, like LISA. Since much of the flight hardware has already been constructed and tested, we will show that performance measurements and analysis of these flight components lead to an expected performance of the...
متن کاملFree-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplish this, the Pathfinder spacecraft will perform drag-free flight about a test mass while measuring the acceleration of this primary test mass relative to a second reference test mass. Because the reference test mass is...
متن کاملLISA Parameter Estimation Using Numerical Merger Waveforms
Coalescing supermassive black holes are expected to provide the strongest sources for gravitational radiation detected by LISA. Recent advances in numerical relativity provide a detailed description of the waveforms of such signals. We present a preliminary study of LISA’s sensitivity to waveform parameters using a hybrid numerical/analytic waveform describing the coalescence of two equal-mass,...
متن کاملParameter estimation for Galactic binaries by LISA
We calculate how accurately parameters of the short-period binaries (10 Hz . f . 10 Hz) will be determined from the gravitational waves by LISA. In our analysis the chirp signal ḟ is newly included as a fitting parameters and dependence on observational period or wave frequency is studied in detail. Implications for gravitational wave astronomy are also discussed quantitatively. Subject heading...
متن کاملLISA Response Function and Parameter Estimation
We investigate the response function of LISA and consider the adequacy of its commonly used approximation in the high-frequency range of the observational band. We concentrate on monochromatic binary systems, such as white dwarf binaries. We find that above a few mHz the approximation starts becoming increasingly inaccurate. The transfer function introduces additional amplitude and phase modula...
