Item The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna: Unveiling the Millihertz Gravitational Wave Sky(2019-07-26) Baker, John; Bellovary, Jillian; Bender, Peter L.; Berti, Emanuele; Caldwell, Robert; Camp, Jordan; Conklin, John W.; Cornish, Neil; Cutler, Curt; DeRosa, Ryan; Eracleous, Michael; Ferrara, Elizabeth C.; Francis, Samuel; Hewitson, Martin; Holley-Bockelmann, Kelly; Hornschemeier, Ann; Hogan, Craig; Kamai, Brittany; Kelly, Bernard J.; Key, Joey Shapiro; Larson, Shane L.; Livas, Jeff; Manthripragada, Sridhar; McKenzie, Kirk; McWilliams, Sean T.; Mueller, Guido; Natarajan, Priyamvada; Numata, Kenji; Rioux, Norman; Sankar, Shannon R.; Schnittman, Jeremy; Shoemaker, David; Shoemaker, Deirdre; Slutsky, Jacob; Spero, Robert; Stebbins, Robin; Thorpe, Ira; Vallisneri, Michele; Ware, Brent; Wass, Peter; Yu, Anthony; Ziemer, JohnThe first terrestrial gravitational wave interferometers have dramatically underscored the scientific value of observing the Universe through an entirely different window, and of folding this new channel of information with traditional astronomical data for a multimessenger view. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will broaden the reach of gravitational wave astronomy by conducting the first survey of the millihertz gravitational wave sky, detecting tens of thousands of individual astrophysical sources ranging from white-dwarf binaries in our own galaxy to mergers of massive black holes at redshifts extending beyond the epoch of reionization. These observations will inform - and transform - our understanding of the end state of stellar evolution, massive black hole birth, and the co-evolution of galaxies and black holes through cosmic time. LISA also has the potential to detect gravitational wave emission from elusive astrophysical sources such as intermediate-mass black holes as well as exotic cosmological sources such as inflationary fields and cosmic string cusps.Item LISA Definition Study Report(2024-02-12) Colpi, Monica; Danzmann, Karsten; Hewitson, Martin; Holley-Bockelmann, Kelly; Jetzer, Philippe; Nelemans, Gijs; Petiteau, Antoine; Shoemaker, David; Sopuerta, Carlos; Stebbins, Robin; Tanvir, Nial; Ward, Henry; Weber, William Joseph; Thorpe, Ira; Daurskikh, Anna; Deep, Atul; Núñez, Ignacio Fernández; Marirrodriga, César García; Gehler, Martin; Halain, Jean-Philippe; Jennrich, Oliver; Lammers, Uwe; Larrañaga, Jonan; Lieser, Maike; Lützgendorf, Nora; Martens, Waldemar; Mondin, Linda; Niño, Ana Piris; Amaro-Seoane, Pau; Sedda, Manuel Arca; Auclair, Pierre; Babak, Stanislav; Baghi, Quentin; Baibhav, Vishal; Baker, Tessa; Bayle, Jean-Baptiste; Berry, Christopher; Berti, Emanuele; Boileau, Guillaume; Bonetti, Matteo; Brito, Richard; Buscicchio, Riccardo; Calcagni, Gianluca; Capelo, Pedro R.; Caprini, Chiara; Caputo, Andrea; Castelli, Eleonora; Chen, Hsin-Yu; Chen, Xian; Chua, Alvin; Davies, Gareth; Derdzinski, Andrea; Domcke, Valerie Fiona; Doneva, Daniela; Dvorkin, Irna; Ezquiaga, Jose María; Gair, Jonathan; Haiman, Zoltan; Harry, Ian; Hartwig, Olaf; Hees, Aurelien; Heffernan, Anna; Husa, Sascha; Izquierdo, David; Karnesis, Nikolaos; Klein, Antoine; Korol, Valeriya; Korsakova, Natalia; Kupfer, Thomas; Laghi, Danny; Lamberts, Astrid; Larson, Shane; Jeune, Maude Le; Lewicki, Marek; Littenberg, Tyson; Madge, Eric; Mangiagli, Alberto; Marsat, Sylvain; Vilchez, Ivan Martin; Maselli, Andrea; Mathews, Josh; van de Meent, Maarten; Muratore, Martina; Nardini, Germano; Pani, Paolo; Peloso, Marco; Pieroni, Mauro; Pound, Adam; Quelquejay-Leclere, Hippolyte; Ricciardone, Angelo; Rossi, Elena Maria; Sartirana, Andrea; Savalle, Etienne; Sberna, Laura; Sesana, Alberto; Shoemaker, Deirdre; Slutsky, Jacob; Sotiriou, Thomas; Speri, Lorenzo; Staab, Martin; Steer, Danièle; Tamanini, Nicola; Tasinato, Gianmassimo; Torrado, Jesus; Torres-Orjuela, Alejandro; Toubiana, Alexandre; Vallisneri, Michele; Vecchio, Alberto; Volonteri, Marta; Yagi, Kent; Zwick, LorenzThe Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is the first scientific endeavour to detect and study gravitational waves from space. LISA will survey the sky for Gravitational Waves in the 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz frequency band which will enable the study of a vast number of objects ranging from Galactic binaries and stellar mass black holes in the Milky Way, to distant massive black-hole mergers and the expansion of the Universe. This definition study report, or Red Book, presents a summary of the very large body of work that has been undertaken on the LISA mission over the LISA definition phase.Item Tests of General Relativity and Fundamental Physics with Space-based Gravitational Wave Detectors(2019-03-07) Berti, Emanuele; Barausse, Enrico; Cholis, Ilias; Garcia-Bellido, Juan; Holley-Bockelmann, Kelly; Hughes, Scott A.; Kelly, Bernard; Kovetz, Ely D.; Littenberg, Tyson B.; Livas, Jeffrey; Mueller, Guido; Natarajan, Priya; Shoemaker, David H.; Shoemaker, Deirdre; Schnittman, Jeremy D.; Vallisneri, Michele; Yunes, NicolasLow-frequency gravitational-wave astronomy can perform precision tests of general relativity and probe fundamental physics in a regime previously inaccessible. A space-based detector will be a formidable tool to explore gravity's role in the cosmos, potentially telling us if and where Einstein's theory fails and providing clues about some of the greatest mysteries in physics and astronomy, such as dark matter and the origin of the Universe.
