Asteroids for µ Hz gravitational-wave detection

Rajendran, Surjeet; Graham, Peter W.; Fedderke, Michael A.

A major challenge for gravitational-wave (GW) detection in the µ Hz band is engineering a test mass (TM) with sufficiently low acceleration noise. We propose a GW detection concept using asteroids located in the inner Solar System as TMs. Our main purpose is to evaluate the acceleration noise of asteroids in the µ Hz band. We show that…
