LISA Symposium 2024
Dr. Michael Tremmel attended the 15th International LISA Symposium 2024 which was held in Dublin between the 7th and 12th July.
“The 15th International LISA Symposium featured a program dedicated to gravitational wave astrophysics, with particular emphasis on sources that can be observed in the millihertz band by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), the current status and unique challenges in gravitational theory and analysis for LISA sources, and the latest updates on the development of the LISA mission.”
This was an invited plenary talk given to the entire conference of ~400 people who are all involved in the LISA mission, studying a range of topics some already mentioned such as astrophysics applications of gravitational wave data as well as others like numerical relativity and waveform modeling, and instrumentation.
Dr. Tremmel’s talk was on ‘Cosmological Simulations of Massive Black Holes and Galaxies’ reviewing current predictions for massive black hole binary and merger populations as predicted by large-scale simulations and semi-analytic models, as well as challenges that the field faces as we get closer to LISA's launch in the 2030s.
