Abstract

LISA Pathfinder was a mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sensitivity in the low-frequency regime, which corresponds to the measurement band of interest for future space-borne gravitational wave observatories. Magnetically induced forces couple to the test mass motion, introducing a contribution to the relative acceleration noise between the free-falling test masses. In this Letter we present the first complete estimate of this term of the instrument performance model. Our results set the magnetic-induced acceleration noise during the February 2017 noise run of 0.25+0.15 -0.08¿¿fm¿s-2/vHz at 1 mHz and 1.01+0.73 -0.24¿¿fm¿s-2/vHz at 0.1 mHz. We also discuss how the nonstationarities of the interplanetary magnetic field can affect these values during extreme space weather conditions.

We also discuss how the non-stationarities of the interplanetary magnetic field can affect these values during extreme space weather conditions. Introduction LISA Pathfinder [1, 2] was an ESA mission with NASA contributions designed to test key technologies for the future gravitational-wave observatory in space, the Laser Interferometry Space Antenna (LISA) [3]. LISA Pathfinder was launched on December 3rd 2015 and, after a one-month cruise phase, reached the L1 Lissajous orbit where it operated until July 2017. The main scientific result of the mission was to demonstrate the level of relative acceleration between free falling test masses (TMs) required to detect gravitational wave from space [4, 5]. The main experiment on-board the LISA Pathfinder mission consisted of two gold-platinum test masses sitting within a 6 degree-of-freedom capacitive position sensor and actuator, the Gravitational ReferarXiv:2407.04427v2 [astro-ph.IM] 5 Nov 2024 2 ence Sensor (GRS) [6, 7]. The position and orientation of the test masses was continuously monitored by a high precision interferometric readout system, the Optical Metrology System (OMS) [8, 9]. These measurements were fed to the on-board control system in charge of isolating the test mass from the perturbations coming from outer space [10]. This architecture, the so-called drag free control loop, ensured the required free fall purity of one of the test masses by means of a continuous actuation on the spacecraft attitude through the microNewton propulsion system [11]. The drag free control loop was not intended to isolate the test mass free fall from forces arising internally to the spacecraft. Instead, mission and payload were designed to ensure that these effects did not affect the instrument performance. This had implications, for instance, on the selected orbit —the L1 orbit allowed a very thermally stable environment as well as reduced gravitational field gradients— or several design drivers in the payload to isolate the test masses from potential disturbing forces, typically of thermal or magnetic origin. The LISA Pathfinder Data and Diagnostics Subsystem (DDS) included a set of high precision sensors onboard precisely to monitor environmental disturbances with potential impact in the main scientific result of the mission, the relative acceleration between the free falling test masses. The DDS was composed by a temperature measurement subsystem [12, 13], a magnetic diagnostic subsystem [14, 15], see Fig. 1 for the distribution of the magnetic components, and a radiation monitor [16–19]. A crucial role of the DDS was to split up the experiment performance into different contributions to help on the design for future space-borne gravitational wave detectors. For that reason, the DDS also included a set of heaters and coils that were activated during flight operations to characterise the response of the instrument to intended environment disturbances. In this Letter we report on the results obtained in the estimate of the magnetic-induced contribution to the differential force noise of the test masses. Magnetically induced force noise contribution Magnetic field fluctuations couple into the dynamics of the free falling test masses on board the satellite, which act as a dipole embedded in a magnetic field F=D(Mr·∇)B+χV µ0[(B·∇)B]E,(1) where in our notation bold letters stand for vectors, with Mrbeing the 3-dimensional intrinsic remanent moment of the magnetic dipole, χits magnetic susceptibility, Bthe surrounding magnetic field and µ0is the vacuum permeability. The right angle brackets denote TM volume, V, average of the enclosed quantity: ⟨. . . ⟩ ≡ 1 VRV(. . .)d3x. This expression can be further expanded [20], however in this Letter we will be interFIG. 1: Magnetic elements of the LPF DDS: 2 coils and 4 tri-axial fluxgate magnetometers. The axis represents the spacecraft reference system frame. ested in the noise contributions mainly focusing on the x-component which is the most sensitive axis, connecting both TMs as defined by the spacecraft frame from Fig. 1. Under reasonable assumptions –homogeneity and stationarity of the test mass properties– we can express the main contributions to the acceleration noise budget as SF,x(ω) = χV µo⟨∇Bx⟩2 SB(ω) + +⟨Mr⟩+χV µ0⟨Bx⟩2 S∇Bx(ω) (2) where S(ω) stands for the Power Spectral Density (PSD). The first term in Eq. (2) is the dominant one in the low frequency regime, since it couples fluctuations of the magnetic field —with a f−1behaviour due to the interplanetary contribution— through an effective coupling ∼χ|∇Bx|. This coupling factor explains the stringent requirements set on the magnetic field gradient value generated by units on the spacecraft in the test mass location. Notice that while the magnetic susceptibility is a test mass property and, therefore, difficult to modify after the design phase for it to be as low as possible, reducing a potential gradient in the test mass location has an equal direct effect in the reduction of this leading term in the magnetic noise contribution. The second term in 3 Parameter Value χ(×10−5)−3.3723 ±0.0069 Mr,x[nAm2] 0.140 ±0.138 Mr,y[nAm2] 0.178 ±0.025 Mr,z[nAm2] 0.095 ±0.010 Bback.,x[nT] 414 ±74 ∇xBback.,x[nTm−1]−7400 ±2100 TABLE I: TM1 magnetic parameters as measured in-flight in [21]. Eq. (2) has a lesser impact in the low frequency band since the fluctuations associated with the gradient of the magnetic field show a flat spectrum, i.e. S∇Bx(ω)∼ct.; we find this contribution to be orders of magnitude below. Determination of magnetic parameters The magnetic diagnostic subsystem on-board LISA Pathfinder consisted of four tri-axial magnetometers and two induction coils. The two induction coils had a radius of 56.5 mm and were built with 2400 windings of a copper alloy mounted on a titanium support, 85.5 mm away from the test mass. Both coils were aligned with the axis joining both test masses so that the generated magnetic field had axial symmetry and driven by a dedicated high stability current driver to ensure that high precision magnetic forces were produced [14]. An extensive campaign of experiments were conducted to study magneticallyinduced forces on the test masses during flight operations by applying controlled magnetic-induced forces in the test mass [21]. The result of these suite of experiments can be summarised in two type of parameters as we show in Table I. A first set correspond to intrinsic properties of the test mass, the magnetic susceptibility (χ) and the remanent magnetic moment (Mr) which obviously determine the reaction of the test mass to any applied magnetic field. A second set of parameters correspond to extrinsic parameters to the test mass, the background magnetic field Bback.,xand magnetic field gradient ∇xBback.,x, which also contribute to the test mass force when an external magnetic field is applied. The magnetic susceptibility was estimated at different frequencies during in-flight experiments. We notice that the relevant impact in the noise contribution will be entering our estimates in the LISA Pathfinder band, i.e. in a low enough frequency regime where we can safely treat this parameter as a constant value since, for the LISA Pathfinder test masses, the susceptibility cut-off frequency is expected around the 630 Hz [22, 23]. Hence, for our calculations we will consider our best estimate, obtained at f = 5 mHz. The value for the three components of the remanent magnetic moment are shown in Table I. All results were only measured for test mass #1 due to the malfunctioning of the coil near the other test mass. We note here that, despite the high relative error carried by the measurement these are the most precise values obtained for the remanent moment of the test masses. The dedicated measurements on-ground could only find an upper limit of 4 nAm2[24], i.e. one order of magnitude above the ones presented here. When exerting a magnetic induced force with the coil we are able to recover the background magnetic field gradient, since it will add up to the magnetic field induced by the coil. The experiments on-board can only estimate the x-component for this contribution. The value obtained for TM1 during in-flight experiments, ∇xBback.,x= (−7400 ±2100) nT/m, points towards this contribution originating in the thermistors attached to the external wall of the GRS Electrode Housing. These NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) sensors are manufactured using materials that can show ferromagnetic behaviour. Despite undergoing a degaussing process prior to their assembly in the satellite, their close proximity to the test mass —roughly 13 mm— makes them prone to create a local gradient [25]. It is worth noting here that the estimates of Bback.,xand ∇xBback.,x obtained during the experiments with coils on-board are the most precise attained in the test mass location, since magnetometers must be located sufficiently far from the test mass so that the magnetic field they generate do not perturb the test mass dynamics. Given that the X-component of the local gradient is the only one measurable, we are forced to extrapolate these results to the Y and Z component and to the other test mass as well. To do so, a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed with test mass #1 and all eight NTCs surrounding it. For each NTC the remanence was randomly selected within the values [5×10−7, 5×10−5] Am2, in accordance with the range of magnetic moments measured for these sensors during on-ground characterisation, and its orientation chosen at random in spherical coordinates. The magnetic field gradients across the volume of the test masses were found to be Gaussian distributed around zero with 5µT/m of standard deviation (for all components). To account that the LPF interferometric measurements involved the relative differences in positions of both test masses, the MC uncertainties were multiplied by a factor of √2. Thus, the estimated total magnitude of the background magnetic field gradient was given mainly by ∇xBback.,x, as the other two components (∇yBback.,xand ∇zBback.,x) obtained from the simulation were negligible, but its standard deviation took into account all MC results leading to |∇Bx|= 7.4+5.5 −2.1µT/m. Results and Discussion The main scientific result from LISA Pathfinder is expressed in terms of the differential force per unit mass acting on the two test masses, the so-called ∆g [4]. In order to obtain this parameter, a series of signals were injected during the in-flight operations which allowed a complete description of the dynamic model of the motion of the test mass inside the spacecraft [26]. The model derived in this way was then 4 FIG. 2: Noise projection of the magnetic induced forces in the free-falling test masses relative acceleration. In blue the S1/2 ∆gfrom Feb. 14th to Feb. 27th, 2017. In red the S1/2 Bacceleration projection from the measurements of the magnetometers on-board during the same noise run. Black and purple dots represent an averaging of the spectra and the latter includes the uncertainty propagation after applying Eq. (2). used to translate the high precision interferometric measurement of the distance between the test masses into relative acceleration between them. The evaluation of this relative acceleration was performed in the so called noise runs, i.e. periods where the instrument was kept in its most stable, low-noise configuration for several days in order to obtain a good estimate of the ∆gspectrum down to the millihertz regime. In Fig. 2 we show the spectrum of fluctuations of the relative acceleration between both test masses in the noise run spanning from Feb. 14th at 01:59:50 to Feb. 27th at 09:53:29, 2017. The blue line represents the Amplitude Spectral Density (ASD) —the square root of the PSD— of the ∆gtime series, S1/2 ∆g, which, in this segment, is well below the 30 fm s−2/√Hz at 1 mHz required for LISA Pathfinder and even attaining the 3 fm s−2/√Hz at 1 mHz required for LISA. The red line corresponds to the square root of only the first term in Eq. (2). As previously explained, this is the leading contribution in the low frequency regime due to its coupling with the interplanetary magnetic fluctuations, S1/2 B, and their ∝f−1 dependence with frequency. Black dots with error bars represent the averaging of the spectra, S1/2 ∆g, at the same frequency bins used in [5]. In purple, the same averaging is applied to the magnetic projection. In the latter case, however, the error bars include not only the statistical error from the Welch periodogram estimate but also the uncertainties from |∇Bx|, which includes the propagation of the MC analysis previously explained to Eq. (2). According to our estimate, the magnetic contribution to ∆gduring the February noise run accounts for a 1.46+3.73 −0.77% in noise power at 0.1 mHz. We use the same data segment to evaluate the second term in Eq. (2). These contributions couple to the ∆g through the fluctuations of the gradient of the magnetic field. Being a gradient, fluctuations show a flat spectrum, reducing thus its relevance at low frequencies. We estimate its value to be ≃14 am s−2/√Hz which would start playing a significant role above 10 mHz. However, from Fig. 2 we can see that at around 7 mHz the spectrum of the first term flattens at ≃50 am s−2/√Hz instead of following the f−1tendency. This plateau is due to the intrinsic read-out noise of the magnetometers as it starts dominating the spectrum over the interplanetary magnetic fluctuations. 5 FIG. 3: Statistical distribution of the magnetic contribution to acceleration noise (in red) at 20µHz (top), 0.1 mHz (middle), and 1 mHz (bottom). The associated Gaussian distribution at 1σ, 2σand 3σ ranges is also shown. For comparison, we display the median values of S1/2 ∆g(in blue) for each of the 12 noise runs performed. The explicit values measured for both during the 2017 February run (Feb) are also shown. In Fig. 2 we have conveyed our complete understanding of the magnetic contribution to acceleration noise during the February 2017 noise run. However, the low frequency fluctuations of the interplanetary magnetic field show a non-stationary behaviour which follows closely the dynamics of the solar weather parameters, notably to the solar wind speed [15]. In order to study this variability we extend our analysis to the complete magnetometers time series and, therefore, extrapolate the impact of this non-stationary behaviour in the estimation of the magnetic contribution to the relative acceleration between test masses for the whole mission duration. To do so, we compute the ASD of the interplanetary magnetic field at different frequencies logarithmically spaced within the very low frequency regime [20µHz, 2 mHz] in segments of 8 days. This is to have more than 10 Welch periodogram averages at 20µHz, ensuring that the spectral window is not biasing our estimates while still having enough segments in total, 241, for the analysis to be statistically relevant. Afterwards, we project it into force noise by considering the first term in Eq. (2). In Fig. 3 we show this magnetic projection ASD during the entire LPF mission in red by using the median value of |∇Bx| and only considering the first term in Eq. (2). We show this analysis for the frequency bins at 20µHz, 0.1 mHz and 1 mHz, which correspond to the three panels in the figure. For comparison, we also display in blue the 12 noise runs performed during the whole mission. Given that we have a sufficient statistics for the magnetic contribution to ∆g, we can compute the associated confidence intervals at 1σ, 2σand 3σby considering the 16th and 84th percentiles, the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles and the 0.15th and 99.85th percentiles, respectively. The distribution of the magnetic noise contribution implies that the 1.01+0.73 −0.24 fm s−2/√Hz at 0.1 mHz that we have obtained for the February run conditions could increase to 2.70+2.00 −0.77 fm s−2/√Hz for extreme solar wind conditions, where we have considered the uncertainty in |∇Bx|in the error estimate. Finally, we want to emphasize that the the statistical distribution of the magnetic noise contribution due to the interplanetary magnetic field non-stationarity can not be directly associated with the variability of the measured acceleration noise in the test mass since the magnetic contribution is only one of the contributions –and not to dominant one– to the overall ∆gmodel. Fig. 3 compares this distribution to the few measured S1/2 ∆gfor the sake of completeness, although one should not derive a causal connection between both. Conclusions We have presented the first complete estimate of the magnetic-induced force noise contribution to the acceleration noise between free-falling test masses in the context of a space-borne gravitational wave detector. The results are based on a precise in-flight characterisation of those parameters affecting the magnetic behaviour of the test mass. Our results set a value for the magnetic contribution to the LISA Pathfinder acceleration noise during the noise run of February 2017 of 0.25+0.15 −0.08 fm s−2/√Hz at 1 mHz considering the magnetic gradient uncertainties, which is close to the initial assessments [4] and well below the requirements established before launch for this contribu- 6 tion of 12 fm s−2/√Hz at 1 mHz. Our estimate at 0.1 mHz is 1.01+0.73 −0.24 fm s−2/√Hz, a 1.46+3.73 −0.77% PSD contribution to ∆g, which is in the order of other contributions such as the charging noise, with an estimated contribution of 1 fm s−2/√Hz at 0.1 mHz [27] or the actuation noise, which is expected to be the dominant contribution with an expected value of 4.5 fm s−2/√Hz [7] at 0.1 mHz. We find that, as expected, the leading term of the magnetic-induced force noise to the test mass motion in these low frequencies originates from the coupling of fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field to the local magnetic field gradient through a constant term given by ∼χ|∇Bx|. Magnetic field fluctuations have a non-stationary behaviour related to space weather conditions, predominantly the solar wind speed, which will induce excess test mass acceleration noise in the low frequency band for some extreme conditions of the solar wind. Those non-stationarities could rise the noise power contribution to ∆gof magnetic fluctuations up to a factor ≃4.6 at 0.1 mHz in the worst case scenario, that is during the most extreme solar wind condition, measured during LPF, and the largest predicted value of the gradient magnetic field |∇Bx|= 7.4+5.5 −2.1µT/m. This low frequency magnetic field non-stationary behaviour is implicit to the interplanetary field and, hence, a potential disturbance for future space-borne gravitational wave observatories, although not being the dominant one in the case of LISA. The local magnetic field gradient in the test mass location is the design parameter that these future gravitational wave observatories in space can use to suppress this potential noise contribution. Our analysis shows that, in LISA Pathfinder, the temperature sensors (NTCs) located close to the test mass can be considered a potential source of the magnetic local gradient. Despite that it is not expected to limit the instrument performance in most of its operations, this potential excess noise contribution could be further suppressed by using Platinum temperature sensors with no magnetic contribution. The results reported here are applicable to future space-borne detectors and other missions sharing the technology that was put to test by the LISA pathfinder mission.
