15th International LISA Symposium (2024)
Charge Management – Verification Testing and Flight Hardware Development
Cosmic rays will charge the Test Masses inside the LISA satellites.
Apparent Yield Measurements using a LISA-like Gravitational Reference Sensor and the University of Florida Torsion Pendulum
Space-based gravitational missions rely on the pure free-fall of isolated test masses (TM).
Characterization of the LISA Fiber Optic Harness: Modeling the UV Light Transmission in the LISA CMD
The LISA fiber optic harness (FOH) transmits UV LED light onto the LISA test masses to release built up charge from the space environment.
LISA Test Mass Glitches: Maximum Likelihood Detection & Subtraction in TDI Data
LISA Pathfinder observed several unexpected test mass acceleration events during its flight.
End-to-End Multiphysics Simulation of PhotoelectricCharge Management: Application to Free-falling Test Masses
We present a simulation for the charge management process in its entirety using the COMSOL Multiphysics modeling software.
Laser communication, timing transfer, rangingand PAT in the CLICK B/C mission
LISA's laser link requires Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking (PAT) and deploys laser data communication, timing transfer and ranging.
