Spacecraft and interplanetary contributions to the magnetic environment on-board LISA Pathfinder

Mendes, L.; Russano, G.; Nofrarias, M. +79 more

LISA Pathfinder (LPF) has been a space-based mission designed to test new technologies that will be required for a gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sensitivity in the low-frequency regime (mHz and below), the measurement band of interest for a space-based observatory. The magneti…

Temperature stability in the sub-milliHertz band with LISA Pathfinder

Mendes, L.; Russano, G.; Lloro, I. +79 more

LISA Pathfinder (LPF) was a technology pioneering mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. In the low frequency regime (milliHertz and below), where space-based gravitational wave observatories will operate, temperature fluctuations play a crucial role since they can couple into the interferomet…
