[edit] Naming

Laser Interferometer Space Antenna is the proper name, with LISA as an abbreviation. --Ng.j (talk) 15:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Interferometers

I looked back at the ESA data, which states "The two assemblies on one spacecraft point towards an identical assembly on the other two. In this way, the three spacecraft form two independent Michelson interferometers, providing redundancy.". The wiki article however, states "This forms three complete (but not independent) interferometers, with each arm being part of two interferometers". Not sure if this is a misunderstanding on the part of the original author, or what. I'm changing the article text to reflect the the ESA fact sheet for now. --Astrobit (talk) 03:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Ground based Detectors

Any mention of POLARBEAR? http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/03-07Telescope.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.54.78.13 (talk) 03:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
