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 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 کاملParallel Science with Astero-seismology Missions
Eddington, COROT, MONS, KEPLER, and the other asteroseismology and planet finding missions, obtain extremely high photometric quality time-series data as their primary purpose. Similar quality data are potentially, and in some designs actually, being obtained for very many other sources in the telescope field of view, in addition to the primary mission targets. These parallel data, of exception...
متن کاملDetecting an anisotropic gravitational wave background with LISA∗
We address the problem of detecting a stochastic background originated by an anisotropic population of sources, like the galactic binaries, by exploiting the amplitude modulation of the signal as the antenna changes its orientation with respect to fixed stars. This modulation, if observed, could help in discriminating the background generated by galactic binaries from the isotropic gravitationa...
متن کاملCosmography with strong lensing of LISA gravitational wave sources
Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) might detect gravitational waves from mergers of massive black hole binaries strongly lensed by intervening galaxies. The detection of multiple gravitational lensing events would provide a new tool for cosmography. Constraints on cosmological parameters could be placed by exploiting either lensing statistics of strongly lensed sources or time-delay meas...
