“The scientific and technological development of LISA has largely been completed. We are pleased to now hand over this unique project to OHB for industrial production”, says Karsten Danzmann, director at @mpi_grav and director of the Institute for Gravitational Physics at @unihannover. “After most of LISA’s key technologies have already been successfully tested in space with LISA Pathfinder (LPF), the @LISA community will continue to support the construction and provide input where needed.”

✨ New selected research highlight ✨

A Hannover-Cardiff research team has developed a new, generic framework for distinguishing between signals from black hole mergers and those from “exotic compact objects”.

The tool can efficiently guide future searches and help prioritize simulation efforts to make new and exotic discoveries.

Gravitational-wave research skills have many applications in industry. Matt Pitkin's journey "From pulsars to speech enhancement" is just one example.

"This close relationship between GW data and audio recently proved to be useful when I left academia and moved into industry"

Read all about it in the #LIGOMagazine (pdf): ligo.org/wp-content/uploads/20
