Ultrahigh accuracy time synchronization technique based on the optical frequency comb and the GHZ radio frequency spiral scanning deflector is suggested to install on the Moon during the ARTEMIS mission. The comparison with the parameters of an analogous device operated in the Earth gravity will enable the testing to high accuracy fundamental physical principles.

Background estimation is important for determining the statistical significance of a gravitational-wave event. Currently, the background model is constructed numerically from the strain data using estimation techniques that insulate the strain data f
rom any potential signals. However, as the observation of gravitational-wave signals become frequent, the effectiveness of such insulation will decrease. Contamination occurs when signals leak into the background model. In this work, we demonstrate an improved background estimation technique for the searches of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary neutron star coalescences by time-reversing the modeled GW waveforms. We found that the new method can robustly avoid signal contamination at a signal rate of about one per 20 seconds and retain a clean background model in the presence of signals.
We use the Fisher information matrix method to calculate the parameter estimation accuracy of inspiraling supermassive black holes binaries for TianQin, a space-borne laser interferometric detector aimed at detecting gravitational waves in the millih
ertz frequency band. The `restricted post-Newtonian waveform in which third order post-Newtonian (3PN) phase including spin effects (spin-orbit $beta$ and spin-spin $sigma$) and first-order eccentricity contribution is employed. Monte Carlo simulations using $10^3$ binaries for mass pairs with component masses in the range of $({10^5},{10^7}){M_ odot }$ and cosmological redshift $z=0.5$ show that the medians of the root-mean-square error distributions for the chirp mass $M_c$ and symmetric mass ratio $eta$ are in the range of $sim 0.02% - 0.7% $ and $sim 4% - 8% $, respectively. The luminosity distance $D_L$ can be determined to be $sim 1% - 3% $, and the angular resolution of source $Delta Omega $ is better than 12 deg$^2$. The corresponding results for $z=1.0$ and $2.0$, which are deteriorated with the decreasing of the signal-to-noise ratio, have also been given. We show that adding spin parameters degrades measurement accuracy of the mass parameters (${M_c}$, $eta$), and the time and the orbital phase of coalescence ($t_c$, $phi _c$); the inclusion of the first-order eccentricity correction to the phase worsens the estimation accuracy comparing with the circular cases. We also show the effects of post-Newtonian order on parameter estimation accuracy by comparing the results based on second order and third order post-Newtonian phases. Moreover, we calculate the horizon distance of supermassive black hole binaries for TianQin.
Gravitational wave astronomy has now left its infancy and has become an important tool for probing the most violent phenomena in our universe. The LIGO/Virgo-KAGRA collaboration operates ground based detectors which cover the frequency band from 10 H
z to the kHz regime, meanwhile the pulsar timing array and the soon to launch LISA mission will cover frequencies below 0.1 Hz, leaving a gap in detectable gravitational wave frequencies. Here we show how a Laser Interferometer On the mooN (LION) gravitational wave detector would be sensitive to frequencies from sub Hz to kHz. We find that the sensitivity curve is such that LION can measure compact binaries with masses between 10 and 100M at cosmological distances, with redshifts as high as z= 100 and beyond, depending on the spin and the mass ratio of the binaries. LION can detect binaries of compact objects with higher-masses, with very large signal-to-noise ratios, help us tounderstand how supermassive black holes got their colossal masses on the cosmological landscape, and it can observe in detail intermediate-mass ratio inspirals at distances as large as at least 100 Gpc. Compact binaries that never reach the LIGO/Virgo sensitivity band can spend significantamounts of time in the LION band, while sources present in the LISA band can be picked up by the detector and observed until their final merger. Since LION covers the deci-Hertz regime with such large signal-to-noise ratios, it truly achieves the dream of multi messenger astronomy
The detection of the New Moon at sunset is of importance to communities based on the lunar calendar. This is traditionally undertaken with visual observations. We propose a radio method which allows a higher visibility of the Moon relative to the Sun
and consequently gives us the ability to detect the Moon much closer to the Sun than is the case of visual observation. We first compare the relative brightness of the Moon and Sun over a range of possible frequencies and find the range 5--100,GHz to be suitable. The next consideration is the atmospheric absorption/emission due to water vapour and oxygen as a function of frequency. This is particularly important since the relevant observations are near the horizon. We show that a frequency of $sim 10$ GHz is optimal for this programme. We have designed and constructed a telescope with a FWHM resolution of 0$^circ{}!!$.6 and low sidelobes to demonstrate the potential of this approach. At the time of the 21 May 2012 New Moon the Sun/Moon brightness temperature ratio was $72.7 pm 2.2$ in agreement with predictions from the literature when combined with the observed sunspot numbers for the day. The Moon would have been readily detectable at $sim 2^{circ}$ from the Sun. Our observations at 16,hr,36,min UT indicated that the Moon would have been at closest approach to the Sun 16,hr,25,min earlier; this was the annular solar eclipse of 00,hr,00,min,UT on 21 May 2012.
Lunar laser ranging provides a number of leading experimental tests of gravitation -- important in our quest to unify General Relativity and the Standard Model of physics. The Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) has for ye
ars achieved median range precision at the ~2 mm level. Yet residuals in model-measurement comparisons are an order-of-magnitude larger, raising the question of whether the ranging data are not nearly as accurate as they are precise, or if the models are incomplete or ill-conditioned. This paper describes a new absolute calibration system (ACS) intended both as a tool for exposing and eliminating sources of systematic error, and also as a means to directly calibrate ranging data in-situ. The system consists of a high-repetition-rate (80 MHz) laser emitting short (< 10 ps) pulses that are locked to a cesium clock. In essence, the ACS delivers photons to the APOLLO detector at exquisitely well-defined time intervals as a truth input against which APOLLOs timing performance may be judged and corrected. Preliminary analysis indicates no inaccuracies in APOLLO data beyond the ~3 mm level, suggesting that historical APOLLO data are of high quality and motivating continued work on model capabilities. The ACS provides the means to deliver APOLLO data both accurate and precise below the 2 mm level.
