LISA Definition Study Report
Monica Colpi, Karsten Danzmann, Martin Hewitson +108
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves…
Astro2020 science white paper: The gravitational wave view of massive black holes
Monica Colpi, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Tamara Bogdanovic +16
Coalescing, massive black-hole (MBH) binaries are the most powerful sources of gravitational waves (GWs) in the Universe, which makes MBH science a prime focus for ongoing and upco…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Populations of Black Holes in Binaries
Thomas J. Maccarone, Laura Chomiuk, James Miller-Jones +9
Black holes in binary star systems are vital for understanding the process of pr oducing gravitational wave sources, understanding how supernovae work, and for p roviding fossil ev…
Busting Up Binaries: Encounters Between Compact Binaries and a Supermassive Black Hole
Eric Addison, Pablo Laguna, Shane Larson
Given the stellar density near the galactic center, close encounters between compact object binaries and the supermassive black hole are a plausible occurrence. We present results…
Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda +156
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many…
Getting Ready for LISA: The Data, Support and Preparation Needed to Maximize US Participation in Space-Based Gravitational Wave Science
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, :, Jillian Bellovary +20
The NASA LISA Study Team was tasked to study how NASA might support US scientists to participate and maximize the science return from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)…
The Discovery Potential of Space-Based Gravitational Wave Astronomy
Neil J. Cornish, Emanuele Berti, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +5
A space-based interferometer operating in the previously unexplored mHz gravitational band has tremendous discovery potential. If history is any guide, the opening of a new spectra…
Multimessenger science opportunities with mHz gravitational waves
John Baker, Zoltán Haiman, Elena Maria Rossi +32
LISA will open the mHz band of gravitational waves (GWs) to the astronomy community. The strong gravity which powers the variety of GW sources in this band is also crucial in a num…
LISA data analysis I: Doppler demodulation
Neil Cornish, Shane Larson
The orbital motion of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) produces amplitude, phase and frequency modulation of a gravitational wave signal. The modulations have the effe…
