Phys. Rev. D 67, 022001 (2003) [7 pages]LISA response functionSee Also: Publisher's Note Received 4 September 2002; published 22 January 2003; publisher error corrected 31 January 2003 The orbital motion of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) introduces modulations into the observed gravitational wave signal. These modulations can be used to determine the location and orientation of a gravitational wave source. The complete LISA response to an arbitrary gravitational wave is derived using a coordinate free approach in the transverse-traceless gauge. The general response function reduces to that found by Cutler for low frequency, monochromatic plane waves. Estimates of the noise in the detector are found to be complicated by the time variation of the interferometer arm lengths. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
