http://www.lisa-science.org daily 1 2006-05-16T10:19:43Z http://www.lisa-science.org/lisc-news/news/data_analysis/lisataskforcepe 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.

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.
