   Abstract : In astronomy, interferometry by ground-based telescopes offers the greatest angular resolution. However, the Earth´s atmosphere distorts the incident wavefront from a celestial object, leading to blurring and signal loss. It also restricts the transmission of specific wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum. READ MORE

3. 2. Thermomechanical Design and Analysis of the Lisa Phase Measurement System

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Pablo Martinez Cano; [2019]
   Keywords : LISA; PCB; temperature; passive; aluminum; aluminium;

   Abstract : Gravitational Waves (GWs) are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that propagate as waves at the speed of light while travelling basically undisturbed from the moment of their creation by accelerated masses. GWs provide unique information about astrophysical sources, such as binary systems, allowing their exploration under a wide range of masses, mass ratios and physical states inaccessible otherwise and therefore opening a new window to observe the universe.
