A telescope for LISA – the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (2018)
Isabel Escudero Sanz*, Astrid Heske and Jeffrey C. Livas
Abstract: Gravitational waves are a prediction of Einstein’s general relativity theory. In autumn 2017, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) experiment reported the first detection of gravitational waves in addition to elec- tromagnetic radiation from the collision of two neutron stars …

Science with the space-based interferometer LISA. V: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (2017)
Stanislav Babak, Jonathan Gair, Alberto Sesana, Enrico Barausse, Carlos F. Sopuerta, Christopher P. L. Berry, Emanuele Berti, Pau Amaro-Seoane, Antoine Petiteau, Antoine Klein
Abstract: The space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be able to observe the gravitational-wave signals from systems comprised of a massive black hole and a stellar-mass compact object. These systems are known as extreme-mass-ratio inspirals …
The LTP interferometer and phasemeter (2004)
G Heinzel, V Wand, A García, O Jennrich, C Braxmaier, D Robertson, K Middleton, D Hoyland, A Rüdiger, R Schilling, U Johann and K Danzmann
Abstract: The LISA Technology Package (LTP), to be launched by ESA in 2006/2007, is a technology demonstration mission in preparation for the LISA space-borne gravitational wave detector. A central part of the LTP is the optical metrology package (heterodyne interferometer with phasemeter) which monitors the distance between …
