Searches for Gravitational Waves in LISA Data

ORAL

Abstract

When the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA, launches in the mid-2030s, it will enable the first multi-band gravitational-wave searches and trigger advance searches for multi-messenger counterparts beginning weeks or longer before merger. Compact binary sources must be extracted from LISA data at relatively faint signal-to-noise to perform these searches. While past work has considered parameter estimation for individual gravitational-wave sources in LISA, the actual searches for faint sources have thus far proven difficult, especially for stellar-origin black hole binaries. In this talk, I will present new results in enabling the search phase of LISA data analysis.
