| Gravitational-Wave Research at Caltech-JPL | |
| |
|
|
LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory |
|
A high-frequency (HF: 1 to 10,000 Hz) gravitational-wave project, headquartered at Caltech, with observational facilities at Hanford, WA, and Livingston, LA. |
|
| |
|
|
LISA: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna |
|
A low-frequency (LF: 0.03 mHz to 1 Hz) gravitational-wave mission to be flown jointly by NASA and ESA after 2013. JPL is responsible for interferometry instrumentation and the US Mission Science Office. |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Microwave Band Doppler Tracking of Spacecraft |
|
A low-frequency (LF: 10-5 to 1 Hz) gravitational-wave search program, in operation at JPL since the mid-1970s. |
|
| |
|
|
Pulsar Timing |
|
A very-low-frequency (VLF: 10-5 to 10-8 Hz) gravitational-wave search program carried out at Caltech/JPL and elsewhere. |
|
| |
|
|
Cosmic Microwave Background Observations |
|
An extremely-low-frequency (ELF: 10-18 to 10-15 Hz) gravitational-wave search program based on mapping the intensity and polarization of the CMB. |
|
| |
|
|
TAPIR: Theoretical Astrophysics Including Relativity |
|
A group of theoretical physicists and astrophysicists who analyze and simulate sources of gravitational radiation, and carry out design, noise analysis, and data analysis studies in support of the above projects. |
