LISA and the LISA Science Team
Anna Heffernan, Chiara Caprini, Neil Cornish +19
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, due to launch mid-2035, is a large class space mission by the European Space Agency (ESA). In partnership with NASA and ESA-member sta…
ESO Expanding Horizons White Paper: Electromagnetic characterisation of millihertz gravitational-wave sources in the Milky Way
James Munday, Valeriya Korol, Camilla Danielski +8
The millihertz band is densely populated by continuous gravitational-wave signals from Galactic compact binaries, dominated by double white dwarfs (DWDs; binaries of two white dwar…
Gravitational-Wave Background from Extragalactic Double White Dwarfs for LISA
Guillaume Boileau, Tristan Bruel, Alexandre Toubiana +2
Recent studies have revealed the contribution of extragalactic DWD to the astrophysical SGWB could be detectable in the mHz regime by LISA. Conversely, the presence of this SGWB co…
Great Balls of FIRE IV. The contribution of massive star clusters to the astrophysical population of merging binary black holes
Tristan Bruel, Astrid Lamberts, Carl L. Rodriguez +3
The detection of over a hundred gravitational wave signals from double compacts objects have confirmed the existence of such binaries with tight orbits. Two main formation channels…
The interacting double white dwarf population with LISA; stochastic foreground and resolved sources
Alexandre Toubiana, Nikolaos Karnesis, Astrid Lamberts +1
In this work, we investigate the impact of tidal torques and mass transfer on the population of double white dwarfs (DWDs) that will be observed with LISA. Starting from a distribu…
Predicting gravitational wave signals from BPASS White Dwarf Binary and Black Hole Binary populations of a Milky Way-like galaxy model for LISA
Petra Tang, Jan Eldridge, Renate Meyer +3
Galactic white dwarf binaries (WDBs) and black hole binaries (BHBs) will be gravitational wave (GW) sources for LISA. Their detection will provide insights into binary evolution an…
