Precision measurements of the magnetic parameters of LISA Pathfinder test masses

Mendes, L.; Russano, G.; Nofrarias, M. +76 more

A precise characterization of the magnetic properties of LISA Pathfinder free falling test-masses is of special interest for future gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetic forces have an important impact on the instrument sensitivity in the low frequency regime below the millihertz. In this paper we report on the magnetic injection exper…
