2007-10-19 | New LISA Taskforce: Parameter Estimation
At the LIST meeting in September 2007, a new taskforce on LISA Parameter Estimation (LISA PE) was established, whose main goal is to foster the development of accurate, reliable and flexible tools and models for calculating how accurately LISA can measure astrophysical parameters for various sources. Interested scientists are invited to join.
2007-10-02 | January 2008 AAS meeting: Call for posters
The American Astronomical Society will have its annual winter meeting in Austin, Texas January 7 - 11, 2008; we encourage LISC members to submit contributions for a planned poster session dedicated to LISA science.
2007-07-03 | Gas helps massive black holes find each other
When two galaxies merge, a large fraction of the gas they contain is funnelled into the central regions of the merger. Recent simulations suggests that this gas leads to a much faster coalescence of the massive black hole pair compared to the situation where no gas is present. The gas might also force the spins of the black holes to align.
2007-05-31 | 2007 Workshop on Charging Issues in Experimental Gravity
Noise from electric charges is a major issue in experimental gravity - and LISA is no exception. This July 26-27 workshop at MIT brings together leading experts on the subject.
2007-03-16 | Proceedings of the Sixth International LISA Symposium are now in print
The proceedings of the Sixth International LISA Symposium are now available from the American Institute of Physics.
2007-02-17 | Science community has its say on LISA future
Read about the first townhall meeting of the National Academies' Beyond Einstein review committee - the body which will decide which of the Beyond Einstein missions, including LISA, will get priority and fly first.
2007-02-09 | Mock LISA Data Challenge: Round 2 is underway!
With the first round of the Mock LISA Data Challenge complete, the MLDC team has now released the data set for round 2! Here's your chance to learn more about recent developments in this program to evaluate the readiness and spur the development of LISA data analysis tools and methods.
2007-01-25 | Second announcement for the Les Houches School "The violent universe"
This is the final announcement for a Winter School that will be of interest to many LISC members: The Les Houches school "The violent universe", from March 12-23, 2007
