Building A Field: The Future of Astronomy with Gravitational Waves, A State of The Profession Consideration for Astro2020
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Joey Shapiro Key, Brittany Kamai +28
Harnessing the sheer discovery potential of gravitational wave astronomy will require bold, deliberate, and sustained efforts to train and develop the requisite workforce. The next…
Eclipses of continuous gravitational waves as a probe of stellar structure
Pablo Marchant, Katelyn Breivik, Christopher P. L. Berry +2
Although gravitational waves only interact weakly with matter, their propagation is affected by a gravitational potential. If a gravitational wave source is eclipsed by a star, mea…
Spurious Acceleration Noise on the LISA Spacecraft due to Solar Activity
Barrett M. Frank, Brandon Piotrzkowski, Brett Bolen +2
One source of noise for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be time-varying changes of the space environment in the form of solar wind particles and photon pressure…
Constraining Galactic Structure with the LISA White Dwarf Foreground
Katelyn Breivik, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli, Shane L. Larson
White dwarfs comprise 95% of all stellar remnants, and are thus an excellent tracer of old stellar populations in the Milky Way. Current and planned telescopes are not able to dire…
COSMIC Variance in Binary Population Synthesis
Katelyn Breivik, Scott Coughlin, Michael Zevin +8
The formation and evolution of binary stars is a critical component of several fields in astronomy. The most numerous sources for gravitational wave observatories are inspiraling a…
Probing Massive Black Hole Binary Populations with LISA
Michael L. Katz, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Fani Dosopoulou +3
ESA and NASA are moving forward with plans to launch LISA around 2034. With data from the Illustris cosmological simulation, we provide analysis of LISA detection rates accompanied…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna: Unveiling the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Sky
John Baker, Jillian Bellovary, Peter L. Bender +39
The first terrestrial gravitational wave interferometers have dramatically underscored the scientific value of observing the Universe through an entirely different window, and of f…
Space Based Gravitational Wave Astronomy Beyond LISA
John Baker, Simon F. Barke, Peter L. Bender +20
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open three decades of gravitational wave (GW) spectrum between 0.1 and 100 mHz, the mHz band. This band is expected to be the ric…
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…
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…
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Luke Zoltan Kelley, Maria Charisi, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +29
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are on the verge of detecting low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs). With continued observations of a l…
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 Decadal Science White Paper: Gravitational Wave Survey of Galactic Ultra Compact Binaries
Tyson B. Littenberg, Katelyn Breivik, Warren R. Brown +6
Ultra-compact binaries (UCBs) are systems containing compact or degenerate stars with orbital periods less than one hour. Tens of millions of UCBs are predicted to exist within the…
Astro2020 Decadal Science White Paper: The state of gravitational-wave astrophysics in 2020
Sean T. McWilliams, Robert Caldwell, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
While still in its infancy, the budding field of gravitational-wave astronomy has so far exceeded most expectations, and the achievements that have already been made bode well for…
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…
What we can learn from multi-band observations of black hole binaries
Curt Cutler, Emanuele Berti, Karan Jani +12
The LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers have to-date detected ten merging black hole (BH) binaries, some with masses considerably larger than had been anticipated. S…
