Sub-Femto-g Free Fall for Space-Based Gravitational Wave Observatories: LISA Pathfinder Results
(2016)Physical Review LettersWe report the first results of the LISA Pathfinder in-flight experiment. The results demonstrate that two free-falling reference test masses, such as those needed for a space-based gravitational wave observatory like LISA, can be put in free fall with a relative acceleration noise with a square root of the power spectral density of 5.2 ± 0.1 fm s(−2)/√Hz, or (0.54 ± 0.01) × 10(−15) g/√Hz, with g the standard gravity, for frequencies between ...Journal Article
