Published purpose

This project will leverage Canadian expertise to develop new methods to identify and characterize novel loud gravitational-wave transients and mitigate LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission detector glitches. Canadian researchers will integrate these new methods into an existing “global fit” of many simultaneous expected LISA sources, allowing researchers from around the world to clearly observe the physical signatures of LISA sources. This project will enable Canadian researchers to take a leading role in LISA’s new view of the Universe. The Canadian public will gain a series of public resources to engage students and the general public in this exciting science.
