LISA science results in the presence of data disturbances

  • 1. JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0440 (United States)

Description

Each spacecraft in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) houses a proof mass which follows a geodesic through spacetime. Disturbances which change the proof mass position, momentum and/or acceleration will appear in the LISA data stream as additive quadratic functions. These data disturbances inhibit signal extraction and must be removed. In this paper we discuss the identification and fitting of monochromatic signals in the data set in the presence of data disturbances. We also present a preliminary analysis of the extent of science result limitations with respect to the frequency of data disturbances
