Then don't miss the 3rd round of the Mock Lisa Data Challenge, which has just been announced by the Working Group on Data Analysis (LIST-WG1B) of the LISA International Science Team. Here's your chance to find massive black hole mergers, smaller black holes falling into larger ones, and even whip-lashing cosmic strings in the kinds of data set LISA is expected to yield.

Interested scientists are invited to join.

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.
