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…
Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
Measuring Eccentricity and Addressing Waveform Systematics in GW231123
Aasim Jan, Sophia Nicolella, Deirdre Shoemaker +1
The gravitational-wave event GW231123_135430 is the heaviest binary black hole system observed by the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA Collaboration to date, with the initial analysis indicating…
Misinterpreting Spin Precession as Orbital Eccentricity in Gravitational-Wave Signals
Snehal Tibrewal, Aaron Zimmerman, Jacob Lange +1
The increasing scope and breadth of gravitational wave detectors is providing the opportunity to explore new parameters in gravitational-wave astronomy. Eccentricity and spin-prece…
Hybridization of second-order gravitational self-force and numerical relativity waveforms for quasi-circular and non-spinning black hole binaries
Hector Iglesias, Leanne Durkan, Deirdre Shoemaker
In the past few decades, the waveform community has made advances in producing waveforms that span the inspiral-merger-ringdown of comparable-mass-ratio black hole binaries using a…
Adapting a novel framework for rapid inference of massive black hole binaries for LISA
Aasim Jan, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Deirdre Shoemaker +1
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is designed to detect a variety of gravitational-wave events, including mergers of massive black hole binaries, stellar-mass black hol…
