Description
The waveform working group and work-package group host activities to provide waveform models that will underpin LISA's science goals. The scope includes diverse astrophysical sources, among them supermassive black holes, extreme-mass-ratio inspirals and white dwarf binaries, and a variety of computational approaches from analytical calculations to numerical relativity. A particular concern is that waveform models must be accurate enough for the high-precision science of LISA, and fast enough to be usable in practice.
