#LISACommunityTalks The #LISACommunity recently hosted a talk by Noah Pearson on a paper by Noah Pearson, Neil J. Cornish: "Handling Data Gaps for the Next Generation of Gravitational-Wave Observatories", which can be found here 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2509.05479

On this day, for #LPF10anniversary: following the successful separation from the launch vehicle, the mission operations team at ESOC undertook one of the most complex Launch and Early Operations Phases (LEOP) ever undertaken or an ESA mission. Watch it here 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=maKX...

Physicists, engineers and partners from academia, industry and the space agency gathered in Barcelona on Dec 3-4 to celebrate the success of LISA Pathfinder 🛰️ #LPF10anniversary #LISAMission

Joey Shapiro Key is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington Bothell and a proud member of the LISA Science Team. #HumansOfLST

We had the privilege to interview Dr. César García Marirrodriga, ESA LPF Project Manager at the "From LISA Pathfinder to LISA: Celebrating 10 years of LPF launch" meeting in Barcelona, who shared with us his thoughts on #LPF10anniversary 🛰💛 #LISAMission

A look back at LPF's launch story - Harry Ward shared the experience of watching lift-off in an article for #LIGOMagazine. Read all about it in issue 8 (pdf, page 66): ligo.org/wp-content/u... #LISAMission #LPF10anniversary

LISA Pathfinder Reunion in Barcelona for the 10th Anniversary of the launch! I LOVE this picture!

From LISA Pathfinder to LISA: Celebrating 10 years of LPF launch 🛰💛 "A fantastic mission. Everybody who worked with LPF felt in love with the mission." - Stefano Vitale, LPF PI

It's been 10 years since our dear LISA Pathfinder (LPF) launched! For the ones who don't know much about it, here's a quick refresher about your favorite mission's precursor 🛰️💛 #LPF10anniversary #LISAMission

Happy 10th launch anniversary, LISA Pathfinder! 🥳 For the first time ever, this mission tested in space the technology needed to detect gravitational waves, which paved the way to LISA 🤜 🤛 Planned to launch in 2035, LISA will be first gravitational wave detector in space 👉 esa.int/lisa 🔭

Today, we commemorate the tenth anniversary of the launch of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission. This milestone was a moment of deep pride for the entire LISA Community and the thousands of people who contributed to this extraordinary feat of engineering and science.

Relive the Moment: LISA Pathfinder has launched! 🚀🛰️ At 04:04UTC on the 3rd December, LISA Pathfinder successfully launched on top of a VEGA launcher. The rockets first three stages burned for ~7minutes, followed by a nine minute burn for the rockets upper stage. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

10 years ago we were just getting ready for the launch of LISA Pathfinder - the geodesic explorer and #LISAmission's precursor🛰️ LPF launched on Dec 3, 2015, at 04:04 UTC/05:04 CET/23:04 ET on Dec 2!

It's an honour to have been elected as the Spokesperson for the LISA Consortium. I look forward to working with this great community over the next two years. www.ucd.ie/newsandopini... @lisacommunity.bsky.social

All the lectures for the first #LISASchool that was held at Ecole de physique des Houches on Oct 7-17 2025 are now available on Youtube! 📽️ Check them out here 👉 www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

What an inspiring two weeks at Ecole de Physique des Houches! 🏔️ 🇫🇷 The first #LISASchool for Early Career Scientists brought together young researchers from around the world to learn, collaborate, and explore the science behind #LISAMission, the first space-based gravitational-wave observatory.

Looking for some more #GravitationalWave listening today?📻 Check out this podcast from The Naked Scientists, including interviews with Gaby González (@ligo.org) & @ithorpe.bsky.social from #LISA! Find it at www.thenakedscientists.com/podcasts/nak... or wherever you listen to podcasts! #GW10Years

Want to listen to a bit of LISA talk today?📻 Tune in to the last episode of StarTalk where Kelly Holley-Bockelmann talks about all things #LISAMission 🛰️ 🌌 Find it on the Star Talk website 👉 startalkmedia.com/show/gravity... or wherever you listen to your podcasts!

We think this is a great occasion to show you the first images of the new LISA Spacecraft. The ESA led mission is now in the co-engineering phase. The instrument of LISA, provided by national space agencies across Europe and beyond, will be integrated by the primary contractor OHB SE. #GW10Years

10 years ago, the first gravitational wave #GW150914 was detected by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration. This was a significant step to confirm LISA as a flagship mission, and we as a community are profoundly grateful for the decades of research effort that made the discovery reality. #GW10Years

Results from the first part of our fourth LIGO @egovirgo.bsky.social KAGRA observing run are out today! We're pleased to share the largest catalog of gravitational-wave observations with more discoveries of black holes and neutron stars 📰 arxiv.org/abs/2508.18082 🔭🧪⚛️☄️ #GWTC4

In this episode of #LECSTalks we feature Lance Cooper, a professor from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a talk titled "Writing Effective Research & Teaching Statements for Faculty/Postdoc Positions". You can watch on YouTube 📽 youtu.be/vjqgjTfpYG8 📽

What a wonderful evening, meeting old colleagues and new at the #GR24Amaldi16, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first gravitational wave detection - how time flies and now we are constructing @science.esa.int #LISA for the coming decade to probe new scales of spacetime disturbances!

Carole Mundell (@cmundell.bsky.social @esa.int ) is presenting a journey "From Earth to the Fabric of Spacetime" this evening at Glasgow SEC! #GR24Amaldi16

A rich morning of @lisacommunity.bsky.social science at #GR24Amaldi16 with Oliver's talk followed by Adam Pound on modelling extreme mass ratio systems

First up today, Oliver Jennrich (@esa.int) presents #LISA! #GR24Amaldi16

Kicking off day 2 of #GR24Amaldi16 in the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow!

Looking for multiband gravitational-wave sources in #LISA data - a needle in a haystack problem! Shichao Wu presented a search for stellar origin binary black hole signals in LISA & next generation ground-based detectors (LISA+3G) with pyCBC. #GR26Amaldi16 Find out more: arxiv.org/abs/2506.01898

Balancing computational efficiency with accuracy is an important part of binary analysis in #LISA. Jorge Valencia presented a hybrid time-domain approach to the LISA response at #GR24Amaldi16. Find out more at arxiv.org/abs/2505.09600

And #LISA data will have unavoidable gaps in it due to scheduled maintenance. To cut or to taper? Ollie Burke explains that we will need to be careful in how gaps are dealt in LISA analysis. #GR24Amaldi16 For the full details, check out arxiv.org/abs/2502.17426

The #LISA data will contain noise artifacts such as glitches. At #GR24Amaldi16, Martina Muratore presented work on modelling glitches and disentangle the glitches from the massive black hole binary signals. Find out more at arxiv.org/abs/2505.19870

We need to simulate #LISA data in order to test our analysis pipelines. Henri Inchauspé presented the ingredients of the simulated Common Dataset 1. * massive black hole binaries * white dwarf binaries * extreme mass ratio inspirals * stellar origin black hole binaries * noise #GR24Amaldi16

And Yuzhou Fang presented the TianQin mission, a proposed space-based gravitational-wave detector in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth. Image credit: TianQin, Li et al. 2024

We also heard from Timesh Mistry today on LISA performance and operation, including the #LISA Interferometric Detection System. #GR24Amaldi16

Time-Delay Interferometry (TDI) is an important part of LISA data analysis. TDI is well studied in software, but not in hardware. Today at #GR24Amaldi16, Karin Kruuse presented a hardware testbed to mimic LISA data and validate analysis techniques.

The @ligo.org - Virgo - KAGRA Collaboration is happy to announce the detection of the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves 🕳️🕳️

LISA will take its own vacuum system to space? Why does #LISA need a vacuum system in the vacuum of space??? 🌌 Lorenzo Sala (University Of Trento / INFN) at #GR24Amaldi16 explains that even an individual molecule hitting the LISA test mass can cause a disturbance!

Meet #GW231123 !

Exciting news from our @ligo.org @egovirgo.bsky.social KAGRA friends!

This week, many members of the #LISA community are taking part in the #GR24Amaldi16 meeting in Glasgow! Stay tuned for LISA science throughout the week!
