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…
The Effect of Mission Duration on LISA Science Objectives
Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda, Stanislav Babak +38
The science objectives of the LISA mission have been defined under the implicit assumption of a 4 yr continuous data stream. Based on the performance of LISA Pathfinder, it is now…
The impact of turbulent mixing on the galactic r-process enrichment by binary neutron star mergers
Irina Dvorkin, Frédéric Daigne, Stéphane Goriely +2
We study the enrichment of the interstellar medium with rapid neutron capture (r-process) elements produced in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. We use a semi-analytic model to de…
