Abstract

ISA Pathfinder (LPF), the second of the European Space Agency's Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology (SMART), is a dedicated technology validation mission for future spaceborne gravitational wave detectors, such as the proposed eLISA mission. LISA Pathfinder, and its scientific payload - the LISA Technology Package - will test, in flight, the critical technologies required for low frequency gravitational wave detection: it will put two test masses in a near-perfect gravitational free-fall and control and measure their motion with unprecedented accuracy. This is achieved through technology comprising inertial sensors, high precision laser metrology, drag-free control and an ultra-precise micro-Newton propulsion system. LISA Pathfinder is due to be launched in mid-2015, with first results on the performance of the system being available 6 months thereafter.\ud \ud The paper introduces the LISA Pathfinder mission, followed by an explanation of the physical principles of measurement concept and associated hardware. We then provide a detailed discussion of the LISA Technology Package, including both the inertial sensor and interferometric readout. As we approach the launch of the LISA Pathfinder, the focus of the development is shifting towards the science operations and data analysis - this is described in the final section of the paper.

12. CMB as a possible new tool to study the dark baryons in galaxies

Abstract

Baryons constitute about 4% of our universe, but most of them are missing and we do not know where and in what form they are hidden. This constitute the so-called missing baryon problem. A possibility is that part of these baryons are hidden in galactic halos. We show how the 7-year data obtained by the WMAP satellite may be used to trace the halo of the nearby giant spiral galaxy M31. We detect a temperature asymmetry in the M31 halo along the rotation direction up to about 120 kpc. This could be the first detection of a galactic halo in microwaves and may open a new way to probe hidden baryons in these relatively less studied galactic objects using high accuracy CMB measurements.

Abstract

A torsion pendulum with 2 soft degrees of freedom (DOF), realized by off-axis cascading two torsion fibers, has been built and operated. This instrument allows simultaneous measurement of force and torque acting on the suspended test mass, approaching free-fall condition down to a few mHz. It was developed for ground testing on two DOFs, before the launch, of the Gravitational Reference Sensor of the LISA-Pathfinder mission. We will report on the results of some measurement campaigns devoted in particular to the characterization of force to torque and torque to force actuation cross-talks. We will also indicate further possible upgrades of the facility for application for ground testing of future space gravitational wave antennas or other space experiments requiring drag-free control.
