Waveform uncertainty quantification and interpretation for gravitational-wave astronomy [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2023 We demonstrate how to quantify the frequency-domain amplitude and phase accuracy of waveform models, δA and δφ, in a form that could be marginalized over in gravitational-wave inference using techniques currently applied for quantifying calibration ...

A high load torsion pendulum of trifilar suspension magnetic damper for inertial sensor test [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSpace-based gravitational waves (GW) detection requires the residual noise spectral density of the inertial sensors to reach $$10^{-15}\textrm{m}\cdot \textrm{s}^{-2}\cdot \textrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$$ from 0.1 mHz to 1Hz.
