Survey of LISA-related literature

A selection of material relevant to LISA and low-frequency gravitational waves (by S. L. Larson and L. J. Rubbo).

Sensitivity Curves for Spaceborne Gravitational Wave Observatories

An online sensitivity curve generator which can be used to explore the average sensitivity characteristics of any equal arm observatory operating in a standard Michelson mode (US LISA Mission Science Office at JPL).

The LISA calculator

The LISA Calculator models gravitational waves emitted by circular binary systems, as well as the motion and resonse1 of LISA (by J. Crowder and N. Cornish).

Mock LISA Data Archive

Based at Goddard Space Flight Center, aims to provide realistic simulations of the output from the LISA observatory to interested researchers developing algorithms for analyzing LISA data. Will host datasets for the upcoming Mock LISA Data Challenges.

Testbed for LISA Data Analysis

Based at Penn State University, aims to provide realistic simulations of the output from the LISA observatory to interested researchers developing algorithms for analyzing LISA data.

Synthetic LISA

A public-domain C++ package to simulate the LISA science process (by M. Vallisneri and J. Armstrong)

The LISA simulator

Open source software for simulating the response of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna to an arbitrary gravitational wave signal (by N. Cornish and L. Rubbo)
