We present formulae for the amplitude modulation of the X,Y and Z TDI combinations for monochromatic gravitational waves and use these to study the LISA angular resolution in the case of large SNR. The angular resolution, Δθ/(0.1 * SNR), is found to lie between 2° and 5° and is somewhat dependent on the ecliptic colatitude angle (β), on the...

A new LISA simulator (LISACode) is presented. Its ambition is to achieve a new degree of sophistication allowing to map, as closely as possible, the impact of the different sub-systems on the measurements. LISACode is not a detailed simulator at the engineering level but rather a tool whose purpose is to bridge the gap between the basic...
