LISA science ground segment conventions
Quentin Baghi, Stanislas Babak, Leor Barack +22
This document sets out the conventions used for data simulations, waveforms, and analysis pipelines within the Distributed Data Processing Centre (DDPC) of the Laser Interferometer…
Test for LISA foreground Gaussianity and stationarity: galactic white-dwarf binaries
Riccardo Buscicchio, Antoine Klein, Valeriya Korol +4
Upcoming space-based gravitational-wave detectors will be sensitive to millions and resolve tens of thousands of stellar-mass binary systems at mHz frequencies. The vast majority o…
Identifying galactic binary systems of neutron stars and black holes with LISA
Hannah Middleton, Panagiota Kolitsidou, Antoine Klein +3
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect galactic binary systems comprised of black holes and neutron stars. Distinguishing these binaries from the $\si…
Bahamas: BAyesian inference with HAmiltonian Montecarlo for Astrophysical Stochastic background
Federico Pozzoli, Riccardo Buscicchio, Antoine Klein +1
The LISA datastream will be populated by large instrumental and astrophysical noises, both potentially exhibiting long-term non-stationarities. Modelling and inferring on them is a…
Cyclostationary signals in LISA: a practical application to Milky Way satellites
Federico Pozzoli, Riccardo Buscicchio, Antoine Klein +3
One of the primary sources of gravitational waves (GWs) anticipated to be detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) are Galactic double white dwarf binaries (DWDs).…
Stars or gas? Constraining the hardening processes of massive black-hole binaries with LISA
Alice Spadaro, Riccardo Buscicchio, David Izquierdo-Villalba +3
Massive black-hole binaries will be the loudest sources detectable by LISA. These systems are predicted to form during the hierarchical assembly of cosmic structures and coalesce b…
